Visitor Information
Due to essential works enabling our wider decarbonisation to our site, the disabled bays at the rear of the building will not be available. No unauthorised vehicles will be allowed on site for pickups or drop offs during these works that are scheduled for completion in early November.
The closest disabled parking bays are in Lockyers Key and Harbour Carpark.
Due to our garden fire doors needing replacing on 2nd December, the garden area will not be accessible to the public. We apologise for any inconvenience.
