Are there any accessibility considerations for the venue?
The third floor is wheelchair accessible but requires use of a wheelchair lift once on the floor to access rooms like the Bevan Suite and Harvey Room. The wheelchair lift has a weight limit that is sometimes unsuitable for electric wheelchairs, so details of any wheelchair users must be provided in advance for assessment.
