ACCESS
We have an external and internal passenger lift for any guests with access requirements. From April 2025 onwards, our external lift with be replaced by a ramp.
The external lift takes passengers from street level to our lobby on our ground floor level, and the internal lift takes passengers from the ground floor to the first floor, where guests can exit just outside the ceremony spaces and the Assembly Hall.
Unfortunately the Committee Rooms do not have goods lift access, so all hired furniture and any decorations must be carried up the stairs.
