We believe that access to our museum should be as easy as possible for all visitors, and where possible, we make sure that we’re able to accommodate visitors with a disability in exploring the museum. The museum is a grade listed 18th century townhouse across three floors with stair access to the 1st floor and basement level. Please ensure you can manage these steps or call the museum to find out more, request assistance and plan your visit. Further information can be found on our website.
Carers can visit for free with an accompanying visitor, please pay for your ticket on arrival and you carer will be able to visit with you free of charge. The Herschel Museum of Astronomy is proud to be a supporting attraction of the Rainbow Resource Scheme, which supports Bath & North East Somerset families of children with SEND.
We are running a family trail and will provide sheets you can keep.
Hand sanitiser will be available throughout the building. Face coverings are a personal choice for each visitor.
The shop is open and in the museum reception, you can enjoy the shop before or after your visit.
