Verdant Works Accessibility
Parking
A large car park is available behind Verdant Works Museum, on Miln Street, with a number of disabled spaces. It is free for visitors. Visitors must register their car on arrival to Verdant Works Museum to qualify for free parking.
Physical Access
Verdant Works Museum has an historic cobbled courtyard entrance which is passable with care. There are ramps throughout the museum whenever there is a change in floor level. There is a lift to the first floor Social History gallery. This lift also provides access to the conference rooms and High Mill balconies.
Due to the restricted width of current doorways users of large motability scooters may find access to the reception area difficult.
Wheelchairs
Wheelchairs are available for loan at no extra charge.
Other services, resources and facilities
There is a variety of seating throughout the museum. Adapted toilets are available.
There is a Sennheiser Infra-red hearing system in place wherever there is significant audio content in the museum displays. Either headphone or ‘necklace’ units are available to borrow from Museum Reception depending on the nature of the hearing disability.
Assistance dogs are admitted. Concession rates are available, and carers are admitted free when accompanying the person they care for.
If you need assistance during your visit, staff members will be able to help you. Front-of-house teams wear grey t-shirts and orange lanyards. Members of our Education team are trained in basic Makaton.
We have emergency evacuation procedures for disabled visitors.
Free sanitary products are available in our bathrooms.
