Some of our artworks make sounds, including voice and music. Our talks and performances will use a PA system.

Free earplugs will be available at our performances.

Our exhibition space includes seats for visitors. These include standard height chairs and bean bags for reclining. These can be used at any point throughout festival opening times.

Our talks are seated, with 60 chairs available for visitors.

There are outdoor areas available for public use adjacent to Copeland Gallery which can provide more space and fresh air as needed.

There is a space for quiet seating in the gallery area of The Hub.

If you would like a seat at any point, please speak to one of our staff or volunteers (who are wearing magenta lanyards) and they’ll help find you one.
