Located directly underneath the Chapel of Christ the Servant, and not normally open to visitors, the Chapter House is used for film screenings and for occasional meetings.
The Chapter House can be accessed through St. Michael's Gallery (accessed via the stairwell to the left of the Lady Chapel or via the lift in the New Pavilion), or via the external path that leads to the Chapter House entrance.
There is level access to the gallery via the Chapter House entrance on Priory Street, which is located at the bottom of a shallow ramp. The gallery can also be accessed from the main Nave via a lift located in the pavilion.
The gallery is accessed double doors which are normally kept shut. A member of staff can assist with the doors.
