I am a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: moving around and seeing.

Overall Rating

Excellent

Visiting the museum for the fringe Lates was a great experience. Good access, Changing Places and a warm welcome made for a great night out.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Getting in and around the museum was easy with automatic entrance doors, a choice of lifts and a good surface to wheel on. We watched the performances from a priority seating area which was fabulous. Exploring the main exhibition there was a handy large print guide to help and so much to see. We had a wander round and discovered “Dolly” which was a high spot on our tour.

Parking & Transport

Good

Accessible parking is right outside the door in four marked bays. I arrived by bus in the adjacent street with a short wheel to the main entrance.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Having a Changing Places loo was fabulous. No loo anxieties here!

Staff

Excellent

The staff were friendly and helped with finding the seating area, using the lifts and generally making the evening a success.

Additional Information

I’d never been to a Late Night at the museum - a great idea and I’d certainly go again.
