Mansion House
For everyone’s safety, we’ve made some changes, so your visit will be different to what you’re used to. Please help us by following any directions given by staff.
- There is no advance booking required but entry may be staggered, and groups limited in line with indoor socialising rules.
- There will be no guided tours or room cards, but there are room guides throughout the Mansion House who will answer all your questions to the best of their abilities.
- In line with government guidelines, you’re advised to wear a face covering in indoor places, unless you’re exempt, so please bring one with you and keep a safe distance from others.
- Please use hand sanitiser where provided.
- Enhanced cleaning regimes are in place, but we ask visitors to be respectful towards our collection and mindful not to lean on or touch any of the furniture or surfaces.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
Parking for disabled visitors is available on the forecourt, which can also be used as a drop-off point.
There’s an accessible toilet in the car park.
