We have limited spaces for blue badge holders behind the gallery, which can be booked in advance by using this form. We ask if possible to give 2 working days notice as last minute bookings may not always be able to be accommodated.

The Gallery is approximately 300m from Haymarket Bus Station and Metro Station.
