No. Our entrance is not step-free, and the building is not wheelchair accessible. This is a limitation of our current premises and we're sorry to have to say it. If you have access requirements, please call us on 07810 242368 before travelling — we'll tell you exactly what to expect and talk through whether there are any accommodations we can make. We hope to move to a more accessible building at some point; until then we'd rather be honest about what we can't offer than have someone arrive and be let down.

We hope to move to a more accessible building at some point.
