Accessibility information

A staff member (BSL Level 1) will be present from 10am at Welcome Pavilion to greet you.
There’s a regular shuttle bus service from the car park to near the North Fountain and then to the Stables and finally back to the car park, which runs approximately every fifteen minutes. Shuttle bus tickets cost £2.50.
Premium parking (£25.00 per car) is located at the top of the hill, close to the Manor, for easy access to vehicles and close proximity to the event.
Designated parking spaces for Blue Badge holders and limited mobility in our main visitor car park (please note this brings visitors closer to the Manor than the Premium Parking and is advised).
The hard-surface path which takes you to and from the car park is roughly 20-25 minutes with some steep sections, because of this it may not suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
Both toilets and accessible toilets can be found on arrival at the Welcome Pavilion, at the house via the tunnel walkway and at the Stables Courtyard.
If preferred, advanced booking can be made via email to enquiries@waddesdon.org.uk and pay on the day. Please note this is card only.
