Purple Tuesday at Buchanan Galleries

Join us at Buchanan Galleries as we celebrate Purple Tuesday, the global movement dedicated to improving the customer experience for disabled people and raising awareness of accessibility.

At Buchanan Galleries, we do our best to ensure our shopping centre is accessible to everyone, and we are regularly audited so that our services are suitable for all our visitors to come and enjoy. 

On Tuesday 4th November we’ll be supporting Purple Tuesday, the UK's accessible shopping day, and raising awareness of the accessible features and facilities available in our centre. 

Our accessible services include: 

• Blue Badge parking spaces
• Accessible toilet facilities
• Free-of-charge sensory backpack hire
• Sunflower lanyards
• Autism-friendly quiet hours (Wednesday 4pm - 5pm and Saturday 9am - 10am) 

Connect with us using British Sign Language (BSL)

SignLive is a Video Relay Service that allows our deaf and hard of hearing guests to connect with an online BSL Interpreter during opening hours. The BSL interpreter will talk to the member of staff you would like to connect with and sign their responses to you.

The service can be accessed by scanning our SignLive QR code at the Centre Management Office.You can also access SignLive via the app or a web browser. Please ask a member of staff if you’d like to use SignLive.

How we’re supporting Purple Tuesday this year…

This year we’ll be welcoming two incredible charities into the centre, Glasgow Disability Alliance and Guide Dogs Scotland to raise funds and awareness of the services they offer. Visit us on 4th November to find out more.
