Creating an adult changing room

As part of our overall improvements to Westonbirt, including the new Welcome Building, we have planned to improve our facilities for disabled visitors. We will be creating an Adult Changing Room/Changing Place space for visitors in the main toilet block by the Great Oak Hall.

This new facility will include toilet facilities and some additional equipment and alterations such as a height adjustable changing bed and a ceiling hoist.

This should enable visitors who cannot use a standard disabled toilet such as those with motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and some older people to access the arboretum.

The number of users will be increasing as our learning team and community officers work with a number of visitors from excluded audiences.

This improvement is being funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
