Accessibility & Getting to CATS

We are reachable by public transport; Montgomery Street, Brunton Place and Abbeyhill stops are all within a 3–6 minute walk, and McDonald Road tram stop is about 12 minutes away.

Parking in the area is limited; Meadowbank Shopping Centre offers up to 4 hours free parking (10-minute walk).

Our building is ground floor, but the route to the therapy rooms includes two small steps. A ramp can be provided if needed.

Doorways/turning space limit access to 28 inches (71 cm), so the space is not wheelchair accessible.

If you need help planning your route, get in touch.

Full accessibility and transport details are listed in each event description.
