Access

Overview

RivelinCo is an arts centre ‘without walls’ which means we don’t have a single space that we always use. We work in lots of different places across Hillsborough and S6, and sometimes at other places in Sheffield. Two of the spaces we use most often are the Pavilion and at the Bradbury Makers’ Shed in Hillsborough Park. The information here is mainly about the activities that take place at those spaces. 

Accessibility is really important to us. If you have any questions or would like to chat about your access requirements, please get in touch with us by emailing access@rivelinco.org or calling 0114 327 1670. We are a small team so may not always be available to take a call, but if you leave a message we will always get back to you.
