Disabled Access Information Provided by The Cresset

Disabled Access at The Cresset

Step free access to our main building, box office & theatre for customers, there is a drop curb near the front door for access, the doors are automatic, and there is also a ramped access via the back of our building through our pub 'The Fayre Spot' (dependent on their opening times - please note these doors are not automatic) - there is also a automatic door access from The Bretton Centre, with a wheelchair accessible lift/stairs down to the main concourse if coming in this way. If attending for an event such as a Wedding or Conference that is upstairs, a member of staff can take anyone needing to use our lift up/down as this is not open to the public. We also have lowered parts of the box office counter.

Accessible parking at The Cresset

We currently have 3 main parking spaces for Blue Badge holders (please note anyone parking with us during the day will need to get a free parking permit from box office). There are also more spaces in the Bretton centre if ours are full however we are not responsible for this car park & it may have a time limit. We also have access to an overflow carpark behind our building that has disabled parking spaces, but this is only used in particularly busy events.
