The car park for users of the Kirkgate Shopping Centre, behind Trinity House, is level tarmac and has three accessible bays. Free parking is limited to 90 minutes, after which a charge applies.

Approach to site

The main entrance to the house is up three wide stone steps.

There is a ramped side entrance with a gradient of 1:10 (its lower section is 1:12). Please note that we are currently facing issues with the wheelchair ramp, which is primarily impacting electric wheelchair access. If you are a wheelchair user, please contact us in advance to discuss your access requirements.

A guide to the collection is available for those unable to access the first floor.
