Overview

This is a typical seaside pier a Victorian structure but with modern show type rides on the pier its self these include a number of things like Dodgems, Log Flume, Kids rides, as well as stalls and bars and shops to get food like Fish and Chips etc. The pier was very busy during our visit so it took time to get around the pier but if you are on holiday there is no rush.

Transport & Parking

There is no parking in this area the nearest Car park is a good ten minutes or so away. However the Tram service stops outside next to the venue and the bus stop is also near as well

Access

The pier is an old wooden structure and as a result can be slippery when wet after rain etc. There is an amusement arcade at the prom end of the pier and steps in to the venue. You can access the pier ether side of this arcade. You can access most of the arcade area if you go along the pier and go in the back doors of the arcade. There is room to move a chair around the rest of the pier as it is level however it can be a busy place with lots of people moving about during our visit we noticed two other people in wheelchairs.

Toilets

We found one accessible toilet this was at the back of the amusement arcade. If you go in the back door it is on the left hand side the door is hidden by machines but you should be able to find it. It can be opened with a radar key and is also the baby change facility as well

Staff

Staff at the stalls will try to get you to play some of the games like darts or shooting games A simply no thank you is all you need to say

Anything else you wish to tell us?

There are a lot of rides on this pier and as a result it can be a lot of noise there are also a lot of flashing lights through out the pier both in the arcade and on the rides them self that will not suit everyone
