Accessibility

We are a fully accessible attraction with many opportunities to see our birds up really close during a visit making it suitable as a day out for those with visual impairments and for visitors with wheelchairs or limited mobility.

We would like to advise visitors that we have a natural countryside setting and sensible footwear and appropriate clothing for outdoors are recommended. Most walkways are laid paths; however you may find some natural unevenness in the other areas within our grounds.

A carer accompanying a disabled visitor will be admitted free of charge, on request.  Supporting documentation should be provided, for example a current DLA letter, Pip letter, Yellow Carer’s Card or Gateway Card, which will be checked upon arrival at reception. The normal admission or membership fee applies to the disabled visitor.

  • Free entry for a designated carer
  • Free loan of manual wheelchairs (pre-booking advised)
  • Flat tarmac paths throughout the grounds
  • Plenty of benches for rest stops
  • Areas reserved for wheelchair users at our display arenas.
  • Adapted toilets located in Feathers Restaurant
