Accessibility

Details

Please be aware, only assistance dogs are allowed in the Learning spaces. Parking:  There is ample on-site parking for participants to be dropped off.  Accessibility   Newlyn School of Art has disabled toilets and is accessible by wheelchair users. However, the building is old, and the entrance is via a set of granite steps with a steep gradient to a doorway too narrow for many wheelchairs. Entrance is possible via the back door, but this is also extremely narrow. It is best to call us with the dimensions of your wheelchair to ensure we can accommodate it.
