Overall Rating

Excellent

For a pop-up fringe venue built on a lumpy and bumpy gardens it was remarkably good!

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

I was surprised by the access as it was better than first thought. There are two entrances and both were possible for me as a powerchair user. Once inside you have to wheel over the green carpet style surface which is fine although it does follow the ups and downs of the landscape. I could visit the many refreshment stalls and wheel around to the venues. It was great place to sit and chill out after the hustle and bustle of the wider fringe.

Parking & Transport

Average

Parking was the most difficult but there were a couple of disabled bays around by the University Library. Taxis will come in to the Square and drop you off.

Accessible Toilets

Good

The toilets for the gardens were of the port cabin style. An large accessible loo is approached via a ramp. Once inside it is large and spacious.

Staff

Excellent

Staff made the visit. Everyone was so helpful. From the meet and greet people at the entrance through to the venue and stall staff.
