Access heaven

It was like walking into heaven when I attended an event at Tate Britain recently. There were guides everywhere, and all of them appeared to have had some form of disability awareness training. Situated on a bus route with links to Victoria and Waterloo stations, lifts with Braille buttons, incredibly soft seats, live captions, and a working induction loop. Plus quiet spaces for neurodiverse people. Bliss!

Great day out, with excellent access for mobility scooter.

Visited the first time in January, then again later in the year for the Van Gogh exhibition. We'll definitely be back, you can't see a place like this all in one visit. If Van Gogh was anything to go by, the special exhibitions will be well worth going back for too.

Memorable afternoon at this very busy sold out exhibition.

When in London a trip to Tate Modern often tends to happen, neglecting the Tate Britain. My mum and I would go every summer and I have great memories but I don't think I have been back since Patrick Heron's 1998 show. I was really excited to go back and see this building that I had so many found memories off. I had booked tickets for the David Hockney exhibition months ago and I was so excited but I was not disappointed. The show was really busy and although some impairments would struggle in this environment, I was fine, just a little tired after - but that called for a refreshing pint afters!
