Disabled Access— We appreciate this is not the easiest event to get
around due to distances and surfaces. The approach to the field via Pep-
per St is quite steep and uneven in places. Disabled parking near the
Mayfield View entrance gives wheelchair access to the field. Also disa-
bled places on Pepper St and Davies Way Car Park. Disabled parking at
both Park & Rides but vintage buses mean no dedicated wheelchair ac-
cess. Most indoor venues are wheelchair friendly and all toilets have dis-
abled facilities. NB Wizard offer disabled access boat trips from village
centre. MORE on the website. lymmtransport.org.uk p13
