Stairlift

Still not wheelchair accessible due to being a listed building and needing to climb a few flights of stairs. They are planning to have a proper lift built in the future but they do have a stairlift around the back of the building so if you have a walking impairment or use walking aids like crutches, then you can call them to let them know you are coming and require a stairlift and they will come and meet you and show you where to go, and how to use the stairlift. You can just turn up without phoning ahead but they prefer if you are able to phone ahead of your visit. The staff’s attitudes towards disability are great and they are so frustrated to not be wheelchair accessible.
