Accessible Café, Bar and Cinema

The café, bar and cinema are located on the 1st floor of this waterside destination. Accessibility is via a single lift. The lift is small however it is large enough to accommodate power and manual wheelchairs. There is plenty of space in the bar and restaurant and chairs can be moved easily to enable a wheelchair user to get up close to the tables. The tables are high enough to allow the wheelchair user to get their legs underneath without too much problems. There is one accessible toilet which doubles up for baby changing. It is located near the largest cinema. It used to be accessed via a radar key however this has been changed recently. There is no lock on the toilet now. Because the toilet is used for baby changing it can be busy however it is always clean and tidy and well maintained. The cinema is accessible via ramps and a small stair platform lift. Its not the best however it does work. This is a great location and it is used by many disabled people.
