The Great Eastern Hall is situated in the courtyard outside the SS Great Britain. The courtyard is cobbled but there is a level path running through the courtyard to the hall. The hall itself has level access and an accessible toilet. Parking is available in the SS Great Britain car park very close by. There are four spaces for blue badge holders.
More information on how to get to the Great Eastern Hall.
Everyone is welcome to attend this event. It will especially welcome disabled people, people who support friends, family members or service users who have access needs for example – disabled children and young people, older people, disabled adults. The new access site gives information relevant for anyone with an access need, including people with mobility impairments, sensory impairments, learning difficulties and people on the autistic spectrum.
