Jarvis Access status
Amber — some concerns
Independent assessmentMost of the ancient complex is lift-served, but inaccessible sections, uneven surfaces and a strict wheelchair-capacity limit require planning.
The venue states that about 90% is wheelchair accessible and provides lifts, BSL and descriptive audio, tactile resources, sensory bags and free companion admission. A full visit still needs some steps, large scooters may not fit the lifts and no more than four wheelchair users may be in the museum at once.
