"There are pay and display car parks close to the museum with blue badge parking spaces. It is a very short walk on a paved surface to the museum. There is also limited blue badge parking located at the top of Orchard Square.

We have a wide access, double fronted entrance.

We recommend you allow at least two hours to enjoy your visit. Please ask a member of our team if you need any help at any time.

Limited mobility and wheelchair users:

The main museum warehouse is fully accessible for wheelchair users. We also have a limited amount of wheelchairs to borrow.

'Queen Boadicea II's gangplank (yes, we still have those) is too narrow for most electric wheelchairs, so she's only accessible for manual wheelchairs.

Deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors:

Hearing dogs are welcome. Companions and assistants get free entry to the museum when accompanying a paying visitor.

Blind and partially-sighted visitors"

Guide and assistance dogs are welcome. We also recommend a sighted assistant join you when you visit. Companions and assistants get free entry to the museum when accompanying a paying visitor.

Lift access:

Despite being an original 18th century building, Llanthony Warehouse does have lifts to all floors. Don't worry - the lifts are thoroughly 21st century.

Disabled toilets and baby changing: You'll find our fully accessible toilet and baby changing facilties on the ground floor."
