Accessibility

We are committed to making our facilities as accessible as possible for all visitors.

  • Disabled Parking & Café Access
    Disabled parking is available directly next to Quackers Café. From there, visitors can access the Café via a level entry. There is also a ramp (however this is quite steep) to bypass the steps into the Café garden or additional access around the side of the cafe.
    Depending on where you wish to sit, there is also level access available via the side entrance. Both wheelchairs and mobility scooters can be accommodated in these areas.

  • Pathways & Grounds
    The majority of our paths are gravel, which may be challenging for manual wheelchair users. However, most mobility scooters can navigate them without issue, depending on the wheel size.
    Please note there are stairs in certain areas, especially near the main house, and stepping stones across some small streams. That said, step-free routes are available to most areas of the gardens. Please see the map below for step free routes around the gardens.

  • Facilities

    • Disabled parking is located near the Café.

    • An accessible toilet is available within the Café.

    • A Changing Places facility is not currently on-site. Find our closest Changing Place

  • House Tours
    Due to the historic nature of the Hall, the house tour involves a significant amount of walking and includes some steps. There are many seating areas along the route.
    Unfortunately, there is no lift access. However, we can accommodate wheelchair users with prior arrangements. Please contact us in advance to discuss your needs.

Sensory story

The Thornbridge Estate Sensory story
Thornbridge is a big house with gardens, a café and a shop. This means it is a place where I can have a lovely day out with my family and friends.
Outside you might see animals, rubber ducks in the fountain, lots of plants and the thornbridge campervan
inside you might see, peoples, tables and chairs and delicious food
You might hear people laughing and talking, dogs barking, tractors and quads moving around and animal noises
You might feel, sand, water, stone tables and soft flowers
You might taste drinks from the fridge, sweet cakes and tasty sausage rolls
You might smell food being cooked, firepits burning, fresh flowers and the pigs
Most of all Thornbridge is a place where I can enjoy fresh air, good food, and fun activities
