Accessibility Information

Please get in touch with us at info@vangoghhouse.co.uk and we will be happy to help with any questions about accessing the building and exhibition.

  • Van Gogh House is a Grade II listed Georgian house with steep stairs and narrow passageways that unfortunately are not fully accessible to all visitors.
  • The space is small, so we ask that visitors do not come with large bags or are prepared to leave bags in a safe space on the ground floor of the house.
  • Many of the floors are made of original timbers, so we do not permit high heels in the house.
  • Further information on accessing the building is here ⟶
