Accessibility

• There are 2 accessible parking bays for blue badge holders, which are located behind the Bessemer Converter (the large black structure just next to the main entrance gates) as you arrive. The museum also has more than 20 additional public parking spaces.
• We welcome Assistance Dogs to Kelham Island Museum.
• The museum is surrounded by traditional cobbled paving, but a firm and level footpath has been installed over the cobbles from the main gate. This path conveniently links the car park to the main museum building, Brearley Room, Millowners Arms, accessible toilets and Island Café Bar.
• Little Mesters Lane (an area inside the museum) has a fully cobbled walkway.
• The Crossley Gas Engine viewing platform is accessed via a short flight of stairs.
• There are automatic doors to the main building.
• There is level or ramped access throughout the museum. Stairs and lifts are provided to all three floors.
• Kelham Island Museum is a large building with exhibits spread over three floors. We have installed a fixed static tactile map to help visitors  find their way around the site. The map is located inside the main entrance near to the reception desk.
• You can also borrow a hand held tactile map free of charge from reception. This can be taken with you on your journey around the museum. Loan copies of the map are also available before your visit on request.
• Seating is available throughout the museum.
• Wheelchairs are available on request. To book a wheelchair in advance of your visit, please email info@sheffieldmuseums.org.uk, or call us on 0114 272 2106.
