Overview
The accessible entrance to this venue can be found round the back, and is a single, manual door that isn't particularly heavy. Immediately to the left is a platform lift to go down into the venue. The platform lift does require rotating 90 degrees between getting on an off, but is large enough to accommodate this, even for a powered wheelchair. The tables and chairs are spaced far enough apart to move between them, and the majority are at a comfortable height to reach from the wheelchair. Most of the chairs are easily moved to açcommodate wheelchairs too. Some of the bars and street food vendors have high counters, and with the music it can be difficult to communicate with staff. However, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and seem well trained at handling disability. I wasn't there for too long so didn't use the bathroom, but I believe the disabled toilet lacks full changing facilities. There are several bus stops and taxi ranks close to the venue, and the train station is about half a mile away, making it easy to get to on public transport. However, nearby car parking is extremely limited. The pavements surrounding the venue have large cobbles, so can be bumpy or slippy, but are perfectly passable.
