GOOD TIMES TO VISIT

If you’d prefer to schedule a visit during one of our quieter times, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 10am and 12 noon are generally less busy with easier access to lifts and facilities.

Flickering or flashing lights are in use throughout the Guinness Storehouse which could be harmful to individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. However, the visit does not contain any strobe lighting.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY / EVACUATION

All emergency exits are clearly marked throughout the Guinness Storehouse.

Emergency announcements will be made throughout the building to advise you on what you should do.

Do not use the lift.

Follow the instructions of the Guinness Storehouse personnel and go directly to your nearest stairwell.

If mobility allows, descend the stairs to the emergency exit route.

If you are unable to descend the stairs, wait in the stairwell and the fire marshal for that floor will come to your aid.

The Guinness Storehouse has three call points on each floor should you require assistance. Once you press these buttons – located on each floor at the three emergency stairwells – a member of our security team will respond to your call and come to your assistance.

SAFETY

To ensure your safety at all times, you may be asked to divide your party into smaller groups if you have a large number of wheelchair users. This could result in a delay before you can access some parts of the building.

Also, for health and safety reasons, there is also a limit of four (two in each bar space) on the number of wheelchair users who can access the Gravity Bar at any one time.
