Accessibility - Graves Gallery - Sheffield Museums Trust

Our sites and museums are for everyone. Here you'll find information on accessible facilities and resources to help you plan your visit.

There are disabled parking spaces for blue badge holders outside the Central Library building. This is restricted for 3 hours (with no subsequent return for 3 hours).
We welcome Assistance Dogs to the Graves Gallery.
The Graves Gallery was built in the 1930s and is now a Grade II listed building. As such, access for people with limited mobility is not as good as we would like. Improving access is an important part of our long-term plans for the building.
There are 3 flights of stairs from the main Library to the Graves Gallery entrance. The Gallery itself is step free.
The library lift to the Graves Gallery is currently out of order.
Step free access is available through the Arundel Gate entrance (just opposite the Adsetts Centre), where the Library porters will assist you in accessing the Gallery on the top floor via the lift.
Wheelchairs are available to borrow on request – to book in advance of your visit, please email info@sheffieldmuseums.org.uk, or call 0114 278 2600 and press 0 to be put through to the switchboard.
