We want everyone to feel welcome at Old Printworks Arts. We are committed to providing clear information about the accessibility of our building and to support Disabled people and those with access requirements to enjoy their time with us. We are continuing to work on adapting the building as an accessible arts space. This guide will be updated as we make improvements to our space.
