Overview

We booked this venue for a day of activities for a large group of participants with varied accessibility requirements. Wheelchair users were able to access the venue more easily through the back/side door. However, do keep a look out for a small section of the path that one of our users did get their wheels stuck in (pictured below). The bathrooms had enough space to manoeuvre but did not have pull cords. I appreciated that they had great amenities including menstrual products which is not always the case in smaller venues.

Transport & Parking

On street parking with no specified disabled bays, however that is understandable for venues like this which are too small to have their own specific car park. Street parking was also free on Sunday (when we visited) which was great. There are public transport links nearby as well and it is very close to the train station and city centre just a few streets over.

Access

There is a ramp to the main door however it is quite 'skinny' and a bit tricky to get wheelchairs over the lip of the door, so we used the back/side entrance which was much easier for our participants. One did struggle with a small section of the path to that entrance that is a bit uneven so just be careful and go slowly.

Toilets

All of our users were able to access the bathrooms and they had lots of space for manoeuvring. There was not any pull cords, but as the building is not staffed this is understandable. Just be sure to alert a member of your group when you are using the bathroom.

Staff

N/A it was unstaffed during our attendance. However it was left in a really clean and tidy way so we didn't need to ask for anything anyways!
