When exploring the museum, there is wheelchair access to all areas of the museum with lift access to HMS Alliance into the after and end compartment with views through the submarine. Guide dogs, hearing dogs and assistance dogs are welcome in all of our galleries, however they are not allowed on HMS Alliance at busy times due to the confined nature of the submarine.

Hearing loops are installed at main reception, inside the shop, lecture space and cinema. All toilets are at ground floor level. There are three disabled toilets on the site. Wheelchairs are available in the main reception area, please contact a member of staff for use.
