Disabled Facilities:
Disabled car parks will be clearly signposted on the day of the show.
There is NO disabled parking on the actual showfield, all disabled parking is within close proximity of the main showground.
At most toilet areas, indicated on show field map (available on show day) there will be a disabled toilet facility. There is a disabled toilet situated within the Barn.
For disabled changing facilities, please use the area designated within The Barn.
At present, there is no designated disabled viewing area.
For people of limited mobility the rough terrain can become slippery and uneven, the show field is very spread out and a lot of walking is required. The show does not have any 'mobility' scooter hire facilities. If you do bring your own please note that the show field does get very congested at times, however is relatively flat in nature.
Carers
Carers refunds are not available on show day. We do not have the staffing available to do the checks needed on show days. After a lot of non-genuine applications we have been subject to we have had to review our procedure. If a carer holds either an in date National Carer Card with photo ID or a UK Disability Card with photo ID they can then appeal in writing for a refund of their gate fee after the show and within 14 days of the show date. The carer needs to obtain a carers refund request form by email to [email protected] complete and send to us either by return email or by post. These applications will need to have the form sent to us completed along with a copy of the card and also proof of the disability such as Personal Independence Payment, Disability Living Allowance, Carers Allowance or Blue Badge Registration number. These applications will then be reviewed and dealt with and a refund issued. Carers are admitted for free on the understanding that the disabled visitor would be unable to attend the Show without them.
Toilets:
We have over 80 toilets available on show day. Most are the familiar portaloos' but we also have three trailer units with flushing toilets and running water facilities.
