Accommodation
The meeting house consists of three main rooms of various sizes, a kitchen, hallway and WCs. There are fold back screens between the largest room and a substantial foyer.
Disabled Access
All doors in the Meeting House are wide enough for wheel chairs. There is a gently sloping ramp with a handrail from street level. The meeting house has a purpose built WC suitable for wheelchair users.
Hearing Loop
The main (large) meeting room is fitted with an induction loop hearing system. Those with appropriate hearing aids, can switch to the T position to hear sounds picked up by a central microphone.
Parking
It is possible to park one car on the ramp to the meeting house, but this is normally only used for loading or unloading, or for those with severe mobility impairment. There are restricted parking spaces in Upper Lattimore Road and Marlborough Gate. Restrictions amount to single yellow line type (Monday to Saturdays 8 - 6 pm) and residents parking zones in both roads restricting parking between 8.30 am - 6.30 pm to one hour parking (no return within two hours) Monday to Saturday. No restrictions outside these times and on Sundays / bank holidays. In addition there are several 'pay and display' public car parks within 5 or 6 minutes walk in Brickett Road and Keyfield Terrace. The Maltings, in the city centre, has both short and long stay multi-storey chargeable parking facilities, at a similar distance from the Meeting House.
