Great day out: Emma Bridgewater Factory
I booked to go on the Emma Bridgewater Factory Tour as it was something I had wanted to do for a while, it's FREE, and it stated on the website that the tour is accessible, with some cobbled areas. Not only was the tour very interesting, well organised and thorough, it was, as described accessible for disabled people. All the areas of the factory were on one level and the tour guide was incredibly helpful, without making a big deal out of it, at ensuring that I could see and participate fully along with other visitors. She went above and beyond and it made the tour especially enjoyable. Additionally, the cafe and shop were accessible for disabled visitors, and there was a large sole-use disabled person's toilet. The shops (both firsts and seconds shops) were excellent to get around using a wheelchair, steepish slope up to firsts shop but staff on hand if needed. There was plenty space to get around. I noted there was also a (chargeable) pottery painting experience, which was equally spacious. There was ample car parking, though no dedicated disabled person's spaces, which would have been helpful though I found it easy enough to find a space that was fine for my needs.
