Access: Facilities for all visitors
Public transport
We offer to meet people at East Croydon or West Croydon stations, or the two car parks mentioned below to assist them with finding Turf. We are also happy to meet / phone visitors to talk through the details of any upcoming workshop / event so visitors have a clear idea of the format.

Quiet space and facilities in the space
This space is being built and is currently a work in progress. We will update the page when it is ready to access. The quiet space will be offered to visitors away from any exhibition or public event noises, a private area for breastfeeding, prayer or quiet reflection. Other facilities we offer in the space include:
Space for pushchairs and buggies
Step-free access to the exhibition, project and workshop spaces
Guide dogs welcome (a bowl of water will be ready for your guide!)
Interpreters
It may be possible to book an interpreter with advance notice request (please make your request at least two weeks in advance of when you will need an interpreter to allow us to book if possible). If we cannot book an interpreter we will discuss alternative support we can offer. Contact us to make your request.
Families
We offer two Family Art Fun days per exhibition in the main gallery space. These days have free activities which help families to engage with the exhibition content. Visit our upcoming events page to find out when the next Family Art Fun Day is.
