What a difference a Changing Place makes!

Date of visit: April 2019

I have experience of challenges around: moving around and understanding.

Overall Rating

Excellent

The whole site is wheelchair accessible with level thresholds on the doors, doors that are wide. There are a number of disabled toilets around the site that are large and clean. They are well sign posted and visible from a great distance. The main exhibition halls are fully chair accessible with everything on the same level. The exhibition halls have disabled toilets but the thing that makes this venue stand out above others is the Rolls-Royce of Changing Places. The Changing Place is located in the exhibition hall and is fully equipped to meet the needs of those who require these facilities. We found them very clean and the quality of the equipment is of the highest standard. There is plenty of room for carers and due to the size there is ample privacy. The provision of this Changing Place sets The Yorkshire Showground out from many other visitor attractions and opens up all the great shows that go on there to everyone.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Everything is accessible, all the buildings have level access. Just be aware that the site is on a hill and whilst the majority of the exhibition halls are in the same area, if you go during show week you will need to make provision to be able to get up and down the hill should you want to visit complete site.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

Ample parking on site. The site is also on the bus route.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Lots of accessible loos around the site which are well sign posted and visible from a distance. As previously mentioned in this review they also have a "Rolls-Royce" of Changing Places in the exhibition hall which has the best equipment and is extremely large.
