Please note: brass rubbing sessions take place upstairs at Conwy Visitor Centre. This a listed historic building which has no lift so there is currently no wheelchair access. If you would like to take part in the brass rubbing experience but would find climbing the stairs an obstacle please contact me and I will try to find a solution.
