We are committed to making the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum as accessible as we can for everyone.

The galleries and most of the historic house has lift access, with the exception of the upper ground floor of East Cliff Hall. As the Russell-Cotes is a Grade II* Listed building, interior alterations are subject to planning restrictions.

​

Wheelchair and scooter access

Electric and manual wheelchair users are able to access most of the Russell-Cotes, provided that the dimensions do not exceed those of the UK reference wheelchair size.

​

Generally speaking class 1 scooters are usually permitted (please contact the musuem for further information). Unfortunately, tiller controlled class 2 & 3 scooters are not permitted in the house and should be parked outside. This is because they are too large and do not have the manoeuvrability required to safely access the listed building. We do, however, have a manual wheelchair for visitors to use (subject to availability); please ask at the information desk when you arrive. We also have seating areas throughout the house.

​

Disabled Parking

The closest car park is Bath Road South and we recommend wheelchair users and people with any mobility issues use this car park to avoid the steep gradient on the East Cliff Promenade.
