    Very accessible museum

    Excellent telling of the English Civil War story (the seventeenth century one, not Brexit). Quite compact but full of interesting artefacts, descriptions and interactive displays plus three excellent short films. Fully accessible to all floors with roomy lift and adjoining theatre cafe is also accessible which is a bonus. There is also a civil war trail through the town which we followed without difficulty. Limited disabled parking spaces outside museum plus fifty yards down the road there is a level access car park.

    Disabled Access Information Provided by National Civil War Centre

    Disabled Access at National Civil War Centre

    There is step-free access to the building from the front and rear. Once inside, you can choose from steps and stairs or lifts to gain access to any part of the building. The main galleries are on floors 1, 3 and 5. The lifts are big enough for most wheelchairs and smaller mobility scooters. We are able to lend you a wheelchair on request (two available). To access floor 1 in the museum, you will have to turn your wheelchair at a 90 degree angle; the dimensions of the lift are 1500mm by 1400mm, the door width is 900mm. If you are visiting the museum in a larger wheelchair and won’t manage the 90 degree turn in the lift, we have an access route which will take you through the back of our shop, around the back of the museum via a ramp, through our lovely courtyard and straight into floor 1. Please ask at the front desk and one of our friendly assistants will be available to guide you. There is a platform lift to access Café Nineteen20. The dimensions of this lift are 1500mm by 1400mm, the door width is 900mm.
