There is a hearing loop in the Gift Shop.

The Activity Zone has a built-in hearing loop. If you are attending a talk or workshop in the Activity Zone, please let us know if this will be helpful.

We can make sure the presenters are using a microphone connected to the hearing loop. Please email us in advance at castles@wakefield.gov.uk.

All of the videos in the Visitor Centre are subtitled in English. We are working on future videos also having BSL.

We test our fire alarms every Wednesday at around 3:30pm. There will be up to 3 different alarm soundings.

Sometimes we have grounds work on site during visitor hours. The tools used can generate noise.
