Overview

Calendar house is owned by Falkirk council and is set in calendar park. The park has play areas and walks but due to the weather we were unable to make use of these. We spent the afternoon inside the house looking at various items on display . Many of the items tell you about the Falkirk area. Dating form Roman times onwards. In one of the rooms you can see where the Antonine wall is. Plenty of information about the various exhibits in the rooms. There is also a Victorian kitchen. Staff on hand to explain about the items in the kitchen .Access to the house is good disabled visitors enter by a side door which is opened by the reception staff there is a lift to all floors . Getting round some of the exhibits can be a bit tight in places but I managed ok in my wheelchair, it just took a few goes to turn round.. there is a nice cafe with views out over the grounds . The cafe has a good choice of snacks and sandwiches, we had a most enjoyable afternoon visit with family .

Transport & Parking

Disabled parking is right by the main entrance to the house although a small bit is gravel to get room the car park to the path tat leads to the side entrance which has level access.

Access

Access was good the main entrance is up steps but disabled guests enter via a side door with a slight ramp there is a lift to all floors it this isn’t big just the right size for a wheelchair and one other person. Getting around on each of the floors was ok although a bit tight for turning in some areas.

Toilets

There are accessible toilets on all floors these are electronically operated just push a button to,open and close and are for use by anyone .

Staff

Staff were helpful we didn’t. See how to get in at the start so our son enquired at reception and was told how to find the disabled access. There is no charge for parking or entry to the house and staff were helpful .
