· Access Information:

This event is fully outdoors. To get to the site there are hoggin tracks with varying stone sizes. There are a few short steep slopes but it is mainly a gentle gradient. Once in the woods the path ends at a wooden seating area with spaces for wheelchairs and benches or seats with backs but no arm rests. If it has been raining it will also be slippery and muddy. Some of our activities require grip strength and fine motor skills. However we can adapt them, please get in touch if you require any further access information or would like to discuss how we can adapt our sessions. You know what works for you, help us to understand and we can find a way together.
