Your opinion matters!  There are several spaces around the building to provide feedback.  This helps us to improve and also helps to keep our funding.

We have a limited number of accessible parking spaces to the rear of Cartwright Hall.   To gain access to these spaces, enter the park from North Park Road, at the end of Victor Road.  Go straight over the road that runs along the inside of the park towards the main car park.  As you approach the main car park (should be on your left) there is an intercom to your right.  Press the Cartwright Hall button on the intercom and we will lower the bollard so that you can continue to the rear of the building.  Our accessible, step-free entrance is next to the accessible parking spaces.  Press the red door buzzer for entry.

If you have problems with the intercom, please ring our Visitor Services team on 01274 431212.
