Overview
For a pop-up fringe venue built on a lumpy and bumpy gardens it was remarkably good!
Transport & Parking
Parking was the most difficult but there were a couple of disabled bays around by the University Library. Taxis will come in to the Square and drop you off.
Access
I was surprised by the access as it was better than first thought. There are two entrances and both were possible for me as a powerchair user. Once inside you have to wheel over the green carpet style surface which is fine although it does follow the ups and downs of the landscape. I could visit the many refreshment stalls and wheel around to the venues. It was great place to sit and chill out after the hustle and bustle of the wider fringe.
Toilets
The toilets for the gardens were of the port cabin style. An large accessible loo is approached via a ramp. Once inside it is large and spacious.
Staff
Staff made the visit. Everyone was so helpful. From the meet and greet people at the entrance through to the venue and stall staff.
