Overall Rating

Excellent

Outdoor Christmas lights trail. Trail is mobility scooter & chair friendly

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

The gardens have wide tarmac paths. Great for mobility scooters, chairs. There's a bit of a bump as you go in as you have to go over the foot/wheel wash designed to keep plant disease out.

Parking & Transport

Average

The gardens are in a bus route (East Gate) and there is on street parking (West Gate), but the council have bollarded off what was the disabled parking so I'm not sure how good that is now

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Fully accessible toilets in both the main building and the Terrace cafe. I particularly like the downstairs toilet in the main building because it has a concertina door. No struggling to open or close the door!

Staff

Excellent

Not much call to interact, but when I have, they've been friendly & helpful.

Additional Information

The food drinks van & hut on the trail are to high for easy use by someone in a chair or scooter. You need someone with you to do that for you.
