Access to the premises:

Grimm & Co’s Emporium of Stories can be found on Ship Hill in Rotherham.  We are working hard to ensure that we are as accessible as possible for all visitors.  However this is an old building and we recognise that there are some aspects that we are unable to change.  We have given details below on how to get here, an access statement for the building, and a video showing what to expect when you come to the shop and café.
