Access Information

Leeds Industrial Museum is approximately 2 miles from Leeds city centre, between the River Aire and the Leeds/Liverpool canal.

Access to the museum is via Canal Road, off Kirkstall Road where a car park leads to a mostly flat walkway to the museum entrance.

Please note that the alternative entrance to the museum from Cardigan Fields is closed. This is due to Flood Alleviation Scheme works closing the footbridge between Leeds Industrial Museum and Cardigan Fields.

The entrance door to the museum and shop is an automatic door and has a wide clearing space.

What3Words is a location app which provides exact location points based on 3 metre squares. Every 3 metre square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words which can be shared with friends and family, emergency services and more to pinpoint locations easily.

Museum entrance: ///frosted.puts.policy

A disabled parking bay and drop off point is available directly outside the museum entrance. There is additional unmarked parking off Canal Road, about 100 yards from the museum entrance.

There is an accessible toilet on the upper floor of the museum. Facilities in the accessible toilets include emergency alarms and a fire alarm with a flashing light. These toilets are not RADAR key operated.

Entry to Leeds Industrial Museum is free of charge for carers. If buying tickets online you only need to add tickets for the non-carer(s), you do not need to add a ticket for free carers entry.

There are baby changing facilities in the accessible toilets on the entrance floor and within the accessible toilet in the Mill Space.
