Otherwise there’s a Care Car Park for $13 - $15 all day (entry via Butler st 6:00 am - 10:00 pm).

Outside of business hours (i.e after 6:30pm), patrons are allowed to park in the neighbouring carpark on the corner of Elizabeth + Little Hoddle. Please don’t park anyone in at any time!

Please note - you can unload your gear from Little Hoddle into Bakehouse and then park your car, we’re more than happy to assist with load in, please call the office on arrival

THE STUDIO

At this stage, only our ground floor is wheelchair accessible, although there are plans in place for a lift to be installed in 2023. The rooms that are upstairs (Jezebel, The Belfry and Scrap Museum) are accessed by one flight of stairs. These stairs have a railing on one side of the staircase. Please get in touch to chat with staff about which room might be best suited to your needs.

All rooms downstairs have built in ramps if needed.

TOILETS

The toilets nearest to the entry have the widest entry point. The toilets next to the kitchen (groundfloor) has a smaller cubicle, however it is situated within a larger bathroom

We’re currently looking to upgrade both these spaces to be more wheelchair accessible, thanks for your patience

GUIDE DOGS AND SERVICE DOGS

Guide dogs and service dogs are welcome in the venue. Please speak to someone in the office if you would like water for your guide dog.

If you have any special requests please let our friendly staff know and they’ll do their best to assist. This may include:, moving tables/chairs for access, lighting adjustments or finding a quiet space. We can also organise a tactile tour ahead of time in the studios.
