I am a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: moving around and seeing.
Overall Rating
Excellent
I visted Murrayfield to attend a charity fundraising event. I'd never been to the function suites before so this was a new experience. Even more interesting as our group had two powerchair users and a visually impaired person.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
We were met at the main gate and the security team gave us clear directions to get to the function suite. There were large doors to get in and once inside we went up in the lift. It's not the largest lift but it was adequate to wheel in and reverse out. Access was level for us as wheelchair users. The signage and contrasts were helpful for our visually impaired colleague.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
The transport arrangements were great as there was dedicated parking close to the main door. I and a friend arrived by tram which was great for us as powerchair users. I short journey from the tram stop to the main gate.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Top marks go to Murrayfield. There was more than one accessible loo and those I used were fine with ample space, spotlessly clean and everything I needed. Since my visit, and on a subsequent visit, I found Murrayfield had installed a Changing Places Toilet - in a word excellent!
Staff
Excellent
Staff were very helpful in many ways. Everything from giving directions, helping with doors, and service during the event meal where I needed a hand to carry things.
Additional Information
Not having been before I and my friends were pleasantly surprised with the level of accessibility and in particualr the willingness of the staff to help and make the visit work for us.
