The main entrance, café and The Key Learning Centre are all fully accessible. All floors of the Prison Wing are accessible by lift, and information throughout is provided through a mix of displays and multi-media solutions.
Regrettably, due to the historic nature of the building not all areas of the attraction are accessible by wheelchair. For example, St George’s Tower (which has 101 steps on a steep, narrow and winding straircase) and the Mound which has some steep steps and gradients, and some of the prison cells which have 620-640mm wide doorways. However we do offer concessions for wheelchair using visitors that reflect this in addition to a virtual tour of Oxford City skyline from a console on the ground floor.
