Accessibility Information
The Royal Armouries is committed to providing access to all. Our staff are trained to provide assistance to visitors with limited mobility as well as other disabilities or needs.
Driving
Blue badge holders are permitted to park on Armouries Drive free of charge. Parking in this location is subject to availability so please call ahead to enquire on +44 1132201990.
Disabled passengers arriving by taxis or alternative vehicles may disembark on museum square.
Getting Around the Centre
The Royal Armouries front doors is wide enough for easy wheelchair access. In addition to this, a DDA compliant registration point is also available to wheelchair delegates. All of our meeting and conference rooms have step-free access via corridors wide enough to easily manoeuvre a wheelchair.
We have four passenger lifts, all of which can accommodate a wheelchair. One of these is a fireman’s lift that can be used in the event of an evacuation.
There is no fixed seating at the Royal Armouries, therefore wheelchair spaces can be positioned anywhere in the meeting rooms. We can fit a wheelchair ramp to the stage in larger meeting areas, or arrange a portable wheelchair lift to provide access to the stage in smaller meeting rooms.

Personal Evacuation Plans
We must ensure that everyone can be safely evacuated in the unlikely event of an emergency.
