ACCESSIBILITY

The British Music Experience is located in the Cunard building, Pier Head, Liverpool Waterfront.

 

General Access

​

The British Music Experience has two entrances - a main entrance on Canada Boulevard (opposite the Mersey Ferry terminal) and an accessible entrance on Brunswick Street. 

 

Our main entrance features two flights of stone steps - 8 steps to a landing area, followed by 6 steps to the entrance.  Within the entrance are 3 marble steps to the ticket desk.

​

Our accessible entrance on Brunswick Street is reached via a ramp.  Please use the intercom at the door and it will be answered by the main building reception.  State that you are visiting BME and they will buzz you inside.  You will then need to call the lift and head to the ground floor (0).  You will then be met by a member of our crew who will take you through to our main entrance.  

​

Rest Points

​

There are rest points within the main space. Seating is around the four marble pillars that are to the right and left of the main stage.  There are also a small number of portable stools that can be used to sit in front of any of the displays - please ask our crew for more information.

 

Parking

 

The BME has no dedicated parking. There are 6 disabled parking bays on Brunswick Street and 1 on Water Street. There is a drop off lay-by at the front of the Pier Head Entrance.
