Accessibility

The Riding School is a 2-minute walk from the accessible car park across level compacted gravel paths. There are three steps without a handrail leading to the front of the Riding School, but it can also be accessed via the restaurant courtyard where there are no steps across compacted gravel and brick paths (may be uneven in places). There is a smooth level concrete floor inside the Riding School.

Other

The Riding School is a large space which can get busy and crowded at times. It can also be quite loud and echoey. Sensory bags, including ear defenders, are available to borrow from the ticket office.  Dogs are welcome on short leads.
