    Step-free access QUEERCIRCLE has step-free access throughout our gallery, reading room and project spaces. There is also step free access across the Design District. If you are visiting our project space on the first floor, a lift is available. The lift has key card access which is available from our team and the person leading the workshop. The lift dimensions are 150 cm x 108 cm x 213 cm. The lift door dimensions are 90 cm x 200 cm.

     

    Toilets and baby care facilities

    Accessible toilets and baby change facilities are available on the ground and first floor. All our toilets are self-enclosed and all-gender.

     

    Relaxed Viewings Throughout the run of the exhibition we will be hosting a small number of relaxed viewings. These are intended for anyone who may benefit from a very relaxed environment, where you can enter and exit the exhibition more freely. What you can expect from relaxed viewings:

    • Exhibition capacity is reduced to allow for a calmer environment
    • The Front of House team are briefed on providing a more informal service and supporting viewers with unique or complex needs
    • A quiet space with seating is provided for visitors and carers
    • Additional staff can be on hand to help guide visitors through the exhibition

    If you are interested in attending a relaxed viewing, have any particular requirements, or require additional information to prepare for your visit, please contact us and we will do everything we can to accommodate your request, on email ola@queercircle.org
