Are buggies allowed?
Yes, we welcome buggies inside and have an accessible ramp into our project space and into our access toilets where we can provide baby changing facilities.
Please note due to the nature of our heritage site and buildings, the above mentioned ramps are external.
Where can we eat?
When the weather permits, we are delighted to offer our wonderful Open Garden as lunchtime sanctuary. We have two benches and a semi-covered pavilion acting as the perfect rest spot for eating, drinking and enjoying the atmosphere of our artist and community built accessible garden. We also have plenty of seating on our outside decking, facing the courtyard.
Our inside spaces can differ between a space for arts making and providing information, which can sometimes mean they are not suitable for eating and drinking.
If you’re planning a visit and would like to know if our project space is available for eating indoors, please call us on 01908 608108 or email us at hello@miltonkeynesartscentre.org
