I visited here around lunchtime. This venue has a garden centre, restaurant, antique centre and lots of little stalls. My husband went to see what we might use for accessibility or if I would take my scooter in as it is quite a large area to walk. I have never seen such a choice and number of bits of equipment for use. There were wheelchairs to push by a carer, self propel wheelchairs and many walking aids all free to use. It was busy today but there was still lots of choice. There are lots of little stalls with jewellery, clothes, furniture, artwork etc. 99% of which are accessible. Moving around was very easy The Antique area is almost like a second hand market place with lots of things I remember my mum had in her home - furniture, old phones with dials!, and many many other stalls with such a variety of random items. Again the accessibility is brilliant. Lunch was great. We were allocated a table as we waited to be served. The cleaned it and moved a chair away so that I could steer the chair in. The staff were really good and very friendly. The garden centre was the only bit which was a bit of a challenge as the access was on a ramp which was a bit narrow but there was a great choice and well looked after plants. Allow yourself lots of time to wander about and dig through what’s there. Enjoy 😉
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
As in my main review access was great. No steps - a slight ridge - but easily wheeled over. All one level. 99% of things and areas were accessible. Very impressed with this as I doubted it might be. There are seats around which are available to rest.
Parking & Transport
Good
Disabled parking bays at the front of the entrance and one round the corner. There is a lot of parking there but not too many bays
