Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There are lifts on each floor taking you up to the next floor. The staff are very friendly and helpful so dont hesitate to ask them for help. There are also rams throughout the attraction to avoid the use of steps. There is level/ramped access to the venue as well as access to the gardens an grounds.
Parking & Transport
Good
There is dedicated disabled parking near the entrance. On the website there is details of how to find them. From travelling in a car, a bus and by train.

Excellent
Toilets were easy to find as there are signs, there are 3 altogether. The disabled toilets have plenty of turning space in them with grab rails and room for a carer.
Staff
Good
The staff are all very understanding and willing to help.
