    Blue Badge holders have priority parking next to the ticket office. The roads around the site are solid so there's no problems moving around the site with a Wheelchair or Mobility Scooter. There are two Disabled Toilets and a lift to reach the theatre where a film is shown. A ride on the Tractor Trailer OR the Gunpowder Railway are included in admission as are Science shows for children and Rocket Making. There's a handling collection of (de-activated) guns in the Armoury and Interactive displays in the exhibition. An excellent day out for all the family

    Most of the people on site other than visitors are VOLUNTEERS rather than paid staff. THey are enthusiasts and that's obvious
