There is plenty of free coach and car parking. School groups are welcome to visit Monday to Friday from 9.30 am. Please note that we are open to the public on Tuesday to Friday so facilities will be shared with the public and we can only accommodate groups of 30 in our education room and groups of 8 or less in the public search rooms. On Mondays larger numbers can be accommodated - 60 for a workshop visit, 25 for a GCSE research visit, 20 for an introduction to the archives visit for A level students. 

Facilities available include:

• use of well equipped education room 
• disabled access througout the building including toilets
