Shelter Hall

Shelter Hall is a food hall that had different vendors inside and was located just off the main beach. You had to wait at the entrance to be seated by a member of staff. There were tables inside and out and it was very busy when I went. I didn’t stay and sit at any of the tables on this visit. Shelter Hall was also based at beach level which meant you had to use a ramp to get from the street down to the level it was on. The ramps available were quite steep. Around the corner from the main entrance there are some toilet facilities that are managed by Shelter Hall. This includes an accessible toilet and a Changing Places toilet. The Changing Places toilet was well-equipped and the equipment in there worked well. One major issue in the Changing Places toilet was the placement of the red emergency cord. It had been placed by the toilet and was in a fairly central location in the room. However, this then meant that it was a direct hazard for the ceiling hoist. When I entered, it had been looped over the top of one of the ceiling hoists which meant that it no longer reached the ground. However, when it hung freely to the floor it then became an obstruction for the ceiling hoist to move from its charging position to other areas in the room, mainly the height-adjustable bench.
