Accessibility: mainly good, flagged path and ramp into the main entrance (electronic doors) avoiding the cobble stones. Ramps internally and a lift to the upper floors. Toilet on the ground floor for disabled. Some historical areas outside had steep steps up. Cafe: nice selection of cafe food, including for veggies. Garden Courtyard: with seating and tables looked inviting and relaxing. Exhibitions: we did not have time to go round, going in just for a coffee, what I did see looked interesting. Opportunities for students to display their work, including a young Yoko Ono in years gone by. Shops: we did not have time to go in as the end of the day for us. Staff: very friendly and helpful. Toilets: up a ramp on the ground floor, maybe others on the other floors but did not go up.

Very nice little shops out front. Quaint museum inside with independent art. Nice location. School has a great reputation. Little cafe inside is nice for a coffee and cake.

Great place for meetings and to get inspired by the artwork on display. Excellent silkscreen facilities and very helpful staff.

Good gallery space. Free entry. Art classes & workshops. Nice cafe. Relaxed atmosphere. We always visit when we're in Liverpool.
