Disabled Access Information Provided by Birnam Arts Centre

Disabled Access at Birnam Arts Centre

The entrance is accessible up a gentle slope. Our main door is pressure pad operated from either side. We have a standard lift between floors. We are located adjacent to the Beatrix Potter Garden - there is access to the garden from our Potter's Junction gift shop but unfortunately this is steps and not wheelchair accessible. The Garden is however wheelchair accessible to the general public from the pavement. The centre encompasses The Beatrix Potter Exhibition which is accessible via an access ramp.

Accessible parking at Birnam Arts Centre

Whilst we don't have our own dedicated car park, we do have on street car parking for approx 20 cars - Including 2 disabled bays - We are happy to reserve these if people call beforehand. There is the usual pavement ramp up onto the pavement. The distance from the disabled bays to the front door up the gentle incline is approx 10 metres.
