Museum Location, Site & Accessibility

 

The Museum is situated in the City Hall, Centenary Square, Bradford.  There is a lift for wheelchair users in the entrance to the Museum, and much of the museum is wheelchair accessible. However the Museum is compact, with corridors and narrow spaces to navigate.

 

The Gallery and Cells, which form part of the original 19th century Police Station, are on one level. There are steps up into the Court Room, but with care they are accessible. For those unable to climb steps we have had a DVD made of the visit to the Court room, please advise your guide upon arrival if the DVD if it is required. 

 

We always endeavour to do our best to accommodate wheelchair and mobility aid users, so if you have any questions or concerns ahead of your visit, please do Contact Us.
