Access and Venue Information

The venue is an 800 year old building so floors are uneven and light levels low throughout. This event will be by candlelight. The inside temperature is usually colder than that outside. Seating will be in historic fixed box pews. Seating is unreserved, sightlines are variable and you may be asked to share a pew. Blankets are available on request (subject to availability). Please feel free to bring cushions or blankets with you to make your visit more comfortable and do wrap up warmly.

The main gate onto the site is on Goodramgate (opposite Tesco). There is an alternative access via Low Petergate (through Hornpot Lane).

There is one toilet on site, but this is primarily for staff use so please consider other arrangements. If you do require access, please speak to a steward on the night.

The building is wheelchair accessible save for St James' and the Sunken Chapel. There are steps down into these areas which are often slippery, but this should not impact your enjoyment of this event. We welcome visits before the event if that is helpful to you and are usually open 11am to 3pm, Wednesday to Sunday (inc). Any questions, please contact york@thecct.org.uk. Please allow time for a response since this address is not constantly monitored.
