Kettle's Yard has just reopened and is a fab art gallery with an interesting history! It's located in a 'house' near the centre of Cambridge and there's free entry - you just have to get a timed ticket when you get to the reception desk when you arrive. We only visited the cafe as it was a busy day and we didn't have time to stay - but will definitely be back! Please note - it is an historic building and some of the areas may not be accessible to wheelchair users.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
The cafe was fine. The entrance to Kettle's Yard was up a wide slope and there was a large automatic entrance door. The cafe was located just inside and has a lower section which is on the same level. The counter and the rest of the seating was up 3 steps - this was fine for us though and whilst you order at the counter the staff bring your food to your table. We didn't get a chance to look around the exhibitions and since the visit we've checked out the website which says that only some parts of the house are accessible to wheelchair users. It's a really useful access page which tells you which bits are and which bits aren't - and also that if you call in advance the staff are able to put a ramp out to make the downstairs area accessible. They also have a virtual tour of the house which can be found here http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/visit/access/ http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/collection/the-house/

We stumbled across it when looking for something to eat - we'd parked in the nearby Park Street car park which has several blue badge parking spaces.
Accessible Toilets
0The accessible loo was well signposted but we didn't visit them.
