Visit Information
Seven Stories is a unique venue celebrating the art of British children’s literature. We are very proud of what we have and want you to love it as much as we do. The following easy steps will make sure you get the most from your visit and help us to keep Seven Stories special.
Accessibility
Toilets are located on Level 2, with an additional disabled toilet on Level 1.
Baby changing facilities are available on Level 1 and in the toilets on Level 2. A buggy store is located on Level 1.
A lift is in operation throughout the building. Please bear in mind that during busy times you may have to wait.
Photography
Please note that photography is not permitted anywhere in the exhibition galleries on Level 4 and 5, or in the Storylab on Level 6. This includes video cameras and mobile phones. Please help us to protect the original art in our exhibitions and adhere to copyright law by not using your camera in these areas. Thank you.
Food and Drink
Our Café is located on Level 2, serving a range of homemade hot and cold food and drink. Only food purchased in the café can be consumed here.
Seven Stories is a public building and for the safety and comfort of all our visitors, we politely request that you do not eat or drink anywhere in Seven Stories, especially in the exhibition galleries. Picnics can be eaten on the village green or by the Ouseburn River on warm days.
Tidy as You Go
Please put things back after you have finished using them and encourage little ones to help. This will give us more time to spend with you.
Stay Safe and Healthy
Encourage children to stay close and walk, not run. Change babies nappies only in the facilities provided. Put soiled nappies in the proper bins.
Consider Others
During story times and other events please keep mobile phones on silent.
Guide Dogs
Seven Stories welcomes Guide Dogs in the building but unfortunately we are unable to accommodate other animals or pets.
