Haynes International Motor Museum

Checked on the website before going and happy to see that the venue is fully accessible. Plenty of ramps, that were wide enough for my chair. Saw people in bigger chairs than mine and also mobility scooters. The venue does not have those available to hire but I think it did have manual chairs. My companion got in free. If you are into cars, it is a great place to go, we had a really lovely morning there. You could easily stay all day, there is a lot to see. They provide sensory packs for those that need them with headphones to noise cancel. All on one level in most areas with ramps to lower levels including the cafe. So easy to negotiate. Highly recommend.

We visited whilst on a motorhoming holiday to Somerset. If I'm honest, I'd planned this mostly as a day out for my husband, who loves cars, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoyed it too. It is quite expensive to get in (£21.38 at the time of writing) but they allow a carer to go free, so it worked out quite good value.

We went to a WAV show run by Brotherwood mobility vehicle firm, which was situated in the grounds of the museum. When registering for the WAV show, we got free tickets to the museum. The museum was so interesting - starting with beautiful classic cars (works of art, that just happened to be transportation), luxury cars (old and new), some formula one cars, and cars from memory lane (eg Morris). We spent at least 2 hours looking around. The whole museum was accessible, and I was able to self-propel in my wheelchair, as all the floors were smooth. Because of the WAV show, there were a lot of disabled people on the site. No one appeared to be having any accessibilty difficulties. There was a cafe that could be reached by stairs or by a gentle slope.
