Accessibility is a top priority at the Trades Hall of Glasgow, ensuring that everyone can fully enjoy their experience at our events. We have taken several measures to make the venue wheelchair accessible, including the café, marketplace, and teaching spaces. However, it is important to note that this is a historic building with narrow corridors, which may pose some challenges for manoeuvrability.
If you're coming with a larger mobility scooter or wheelchair, please ensure you are accompanied by a carer or volunteer when exiting the lift to the main floor. This is particularly important, as the lift exit on the first floor is within a short corridor and has a self-closing fire door to the marketplace, which cannot be propped open.
If you are attending alone don’t worry! We have dedicated volunteers who are readily available to assist. Whether it's guiding you through the building or providing any necessary support, our volunteers are here to help.
Please be aware that the maximum load capacity of our lift is 195kg. Unfortunately, if the weight exceeds this limit, we may have to refuse entry in order to prioritise the safety of all visitors.
If you have any concerns, please contact us at hello@glasgowschoolofyarn.co.uk before booking.
