When you enter

• Face coverings are welcomed and encouraged in the gallery to help keep everyone safe
• Please enter via the Arundel Gate or Winter Garden entrance
• Please use the hand sanitiser station just inside the doors
• Make space for other visitors and staff and keep younger visitors with you during your visit
• Check-in to support the NHS Test & Trace programme

We’re helping you visit safely by

• Limiting the number of visitors in the building and exhibition spaces

• Enhanced cleaning throughout the day
• Keeping doors open wherever possible to avoid multiple touch points
• Screens on our shop counter
• Bringing fresh air into the building through our air handling system

Parking
The closest is the NCP car park opposite the Crucible Theatre. Visitors using the Q Park car park on Charles Street are able to claim 50% off the price of their parking – just ask a member of the team for a discount voucher (this discount is currently unavailable with pre-booked parking spaces). Limited disabled parking spaces are available for blue badge holders in Surrey Street.

Toilets & Baby Change
The toilets and baby change at the Millennium Gallery are open in a limited capacity to enable social distancing and enhanced cleaning will take place throughout the day. The accessible toilet is available as usual via RADAR key entry – a RADAR key is always available from the downstairs foyer reception desk.

Full details of facilities and access at the gallery can be found here.

Food & Drink
The gallery café, Ambulo, is now open with indoor and extended outdoor seating. 

Food and drink is not permitted in the galleries.

Shop
The Millennium Gallery Shop will be open during your visit. A perspex screen has been installed on the shop counter and the shop layout has been reconfigured to support social distancing.
