Arnolfini are a Rest Friendly venue and encourage you to make yourself as comfortable as possible. We do this to welcome the chronically ill community to visit our exhibitions, but also as a wider invitation to linger with the art and to use rest as a way to engage with art.
Places to Sit
Portable folding stools are available around the galleries for people to pick up and use. We have yoga mats available for your use, and when our exhibitions permit, we will also have bean bags available.
Please ask our friendly Visitor Services team if you need any assistance – they will be more than happy to find the right yoga mat for you and to help you in and out of the bean bags.
We also have seating in the Reading Room and Living Room and encourage you to use this as a Resting Space.
Quiet space
Although we don’t currently have a dedicated space if you need a quiet space, we have a number of activity rooms which if available we will endeavour to accommodate you.
