Accessibility details
As this is an old site and designed for military activity, the access is not ideal. Some events will be fully wheelchair accessible, others won't. Access will be listed directly on the event listing if booked through Maker Heights. The accessible toilets are next to the campsite which is a short distance from the main site (The Barack Block). The non-accessible toilets are very small which can make bringing a walking stick or bags in very difficult. For videos of the site, or a conversation about access, please email [email protected]
