Accessibility ENTRANCES
AT THE GUILDHALL
ENTRy OPTION For wheelchair, powerchair and mobility scooter users
Peas Hill entrance
The Level access entrance is on Peas Hill where there is a lift to the Halls where RAREfest is being held. This entrance is just left of the Tourist Information Centre entrance.
There is a fairly long corridor from this lift to the Halls. The Peas Hill entrance is accessible by car/taxi for drop off.
ENTRY option For those with requiring lift access/less walking
Guildhall Street entrance
There is also a lift on the Guildhall Street side of the building (opposite the side of ‘Yo Sushi’) but there are 4 steps from street level.
If you can manage a few steps but not walk a long distance, we suggest you come to the Guildhall Street side as opposed to Peas Hill as when exiting the lift, the entrance to the Halls is closer.
