Hi,
I am looking to attend with a disabled colleague and we were wondering if disabled parking is available? I understand that general parking is not available but my colleague would be unable to attend if there is no parking.
Thank you
Lloyd

Hi Lloyd, if your colleague is a blue badge holder it may be possible to arrange disabled parking. I will email you shortly.
