LBM Disclaimer

The Little Basement Museum is accessed via a narrow corridor and a set of steep and narrow steps. Visitors must be fit and comfortable with those features and take responsibility for their own safety. Children must be over12 years old and supervised by a parent or guardian. Appropriate footwear and clothing is recommended. There are no facilities on site, and we recommend using the Museum facilities before you go.

The route to the LBM is via a historic street and house which add to its unique character, but it means uneven pavement and narrow passages. The visit lasts no more than 30 minutes, make sure you are comfortable walking and standing for that length of time as there is no seating on site. If there’s any activity you are unable to do or if you have a concern, please contact us before booking. If you have any medical conditions or injuries that may affect your mobility, please let the organisers know before the start of the visit and if you feel unwell during the visit please let your guide know.

The lighting levels are quite low, and interpretation accessibility is limited. We are working to improve this in time.

We accept no responsibility or liability for loss or injury (other than for matters for which we are not legally able to exclude or limit liability). We have public liability insurance.
