What provisions are made for disabled visitors?

Parking provision can be arranged within the Cathedral Grounds for the disabled visitors or in special circumstances. There are two disabled bays allocated already and if further provision is required then please either call the Cathedral Office on 01733 355300 or see one of the Security Guards, Vergers or Stewards around the Cathedral for further assistance.

There is an access ramp for wheelchair users at the West Door and level access via the South Transept Door. Once inside, all areas are accessible to wheelchair users except the tower and upper levels tour. The Education Centre has level access and the Becket Chapel allows wheelchair access to a toilet facility and access can be gained to the Cathedral shop using the wheelchair lift.

A touch/hearing centre and specially formulated written material are available for the blind and partially sighted and a sensory tour can be organised with prior arrangement. A hearing loop is provided for use during services.

Please contact the Cathedral Office on 01733 343342 with any further queries.
