Overview

An expansive, exciting and interesting event with something for everyone. Superbly organised with very friendly and helpful staff.

Transport & Parking

We drove to the event and parked in the SEC multi-storey car park adjacent to the venue. There are several levels to the car park, all with lots of disabled spaces located next to the ticket machines and lifts. The lifts were spacious and quick. There is a short walkway from the car park to the venue. It is wide, flat and has lifts down to the ground level entrance to the SEC area.

Access

There were several different areas of the event, all on ground level with no steps. There were only a few doors and they are all automatic. The event was very busy but all walkways were wide with plenty of room for wheelchairs and other mobility aids. All restaurants and cafes had disabled access. The outdoor areas were all easily accessible. The only area that may have proved difficult for wheelchair and mobility aid users was the Supercar Paddock. It was located outside to the side of the main hall. The ground was uneven and pot-holed tarmac. The car and stunt show had 2 grandstand areas with plenty of accessible seating. The accessible seating areas had excellent views of the show.

Toilets

There was a spacious disabled toilet located in the centre of the main concourse of the SEC. It and grab rails and was big enough to manoeuvre. There was room for a cater to accompany. There was only one disabled toilet which may have resulted in a bit of a wait at times as the event was very busy.

Staff

The staff were very friendly and helpful.
