We ask that all visitors to wear a face covering in the public areas if possible. Please see our COVID information page.
Can I bring my own food?
As a public building, we ask that customers don't eat food (their own or purchased from us) in our gallery and exhibition spaces. We need to protect the archive items on display and ensure our gallery spaces remain clean and tidy so that all visitors have an enjoyable visit. There is a grassy area outside our building (turn right out of the main doors) and the Quayside is a short walk away, for picnics in nice weather. Our rooms are available to hire for school or community groups who require a space to eat indoors - please email info@sevenstories.org.uk to enquire.
