About This Event
Gallery spaces are on our ground floor and first floor, which is accessible via lift.
Entry to our Relaxed Hours event is free but we recommend booking to secure a place, as capacity is significantly lower than normal.
If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel you ticket.
Transport
To the best of our knowledge, there are no planned disruptions to local transport on the date of the event.
Our nearest train station – Aldgate East Underground (1 min) is not wheelchair accessible. The closest wheelchair accessible stations are Whitechapel (15 min), Shoreditch High Street (15 min) or Liverpool Street (15 min).
Free parking for Blue Badge holders is available at the top of Osborn Street in the pay and display booths for an unlimited period. Spaces are available on a first come, first served basis.
Our Relaxed Hours are for anyone who would like a quieter experience of our exhibitions, outside of public open hours and with a reduced visitor capacity. We welcome disabled and neurodivergent visitors, as well as their friends and families.
Join us for Relaxed Hours during our Spring Season and explore our current exhibitions:
The Common Rooms in Galleries 5 & 6 provide a welcoming space with sofas, tables & chairs and books for everyone to enjoy.
