Coach drop off

The coach drop off point for schools is on Princess Street between Mosley Street and George Street. You may then use the side entrance on Princess Street with the glass doors. If for any reason this entrance is not available, then please walk around the corner to use the main entrance on Mosley Street.

Self-programming

All self-programme groups must sign in at the information point. The group leader is responsible for the behaviour and well being of your group at all times.

For large self-programming groups, staff and students can be divided into small groups to explore the gallery. Accompanying adults should be given guidelines of their supervisory role and the importance of staying with the pupils.
