There are a number of spaces on a first come, first served basis for those who have a Blue Badge identifying a mobility issue.

Yhe owner of the blue badge be present in the vehicle when parking with their badge present and on display.

Disabled Parking is situated in both car parks. Parking is charged per car.

The car park to the attraction is roughly a 12 minute walk across the parkland using the footpaths.

The walk is level and the pathways are concrete.

Parking Charges apply to all cars within the car park.

• 1-2 hours: £3
• 2-3 hours: £4
• All Day: £6

Although every care has been taken to ensure grounds and pathways are accessible, the rural location and farm grounds do mean there are uneven pathways, rough terrain, and hard grounds (including the car park).

There are concrete pathways throughout the parkland allowing for access for wheelchairs to all areas.

A number of accessible toilets are located around the park:

• Heritage Zone- opposite reception
• Thrill Zone
• Splash Zone

The above locations feature the following:

• Lowered wash basin with lever-style taps
• Fixed handrails to the side of the wash basin
• Handrails to the side of the toilet
• Transfer space to the side of the toilet
• Disposal Facilities.

ll assistance dogs are welcome to Wicksteed Park

However, due to our unique environment, the following requirements apply:

• Owners must be in control of their animal at all times.
• The animal must remain on a lead whilst inside the Park.
• The animal cannot be left unattended at any time.
• Animals are not permitted to enter a ride carriage.
• Whilst we do not have a designated area for animals to expel waste, we require all animal owners to dispose of any waste immediately.

With most of the rides, mobility scooters should be left outside the building. If there is a specific accessibility requirement in relation to a mobility scooter needing to be brought to the boarding point, the guest should speak to a member of staff.

Not all rides are suitable for everyone. You know your circumstances and abilities best, so it is recommended that you plan ahead. To do this, you can talk through your access needs with the staff and check which rides will be suitable for you before you visit.

Before enjoying each ride and attraction, it is recommended that you please read the safety instructions at the ride entrance, on the Ride Restriction boards.

Guests who provide the following documentation are entitled to one free carer ticket, however, the guest with the disability and any further members of their party will pay full price.

• Entitlement to Disability Living Allowance for children under 16 or DLA/Personal Independent Payments (PIP) for those aged 16-64, either in the form of a letter stating that the benefit has been awarded, or the actual Allowance book
• Attendance Allowance or Carer’s Allowance letter of award
• Incapacity Benefit books, or a letter notifying the recipient that the benefit has been awarded Incapacity Benefit or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• A valid Blue Badge
• In the case of visual impairment, a registration card known as the BD8 or a Certificate of Visual Impairment (CVI)
• A local authority registration document that is local to the attraction where it is being submitted
• A recognised Assistance Dog ID Card

Disabled guests who have a specific need for a second helper/carer can request another free ticket but will need to show that they have a need for a second carer by providing suitable proof, namely a letter from a school, GP or hospital consultant detailing why the second carer is required.

You do not need to reserve your carer’s ticket as they can be collected upon arrival at Reception.
