Can I
hire a Mobility Scooter when I get there?
There are a limited number of Mobility Scooters available to
hire at a reduced cost, but these are best booked in advance by calling Lee
Millington on 01702 511530. Please note that the grass is very
bumpy in places, and it can be quite hard work pushing an
adult in a manual wheelchair. Smaller mobility scooters can
just about cope, but larger ones make easy work of it. |

Can I
take my dog?
Dogs are very welcome, as long as they are kept on a lead.
They will have a lovely day out! |

|
Will there be
refreshments available?
Yes. There are a large number of refreshment outlets selling
everything from fresh fruit smoothies to cups of tea, and from
stir frys to hog roasts. There's something for everyone, and
because there are so many the queues are never too long. There
is also a picnic area if you would like to take your own food
and drink. |

Are there
plenty of toilets available?
Yes, there are luxury porta-loo toilets available for men,
women and the disabled, which are very clean and pleasant to
use. There are also baby changing facilities. |

are available for emergencies. |
