Accessibility at Croome

Our access statement

We're passionate about making Croome accessible to all needs and disabilities. Our Access statement, available here, gives more detailed information about our facilities. We are constantly making improvements and will keep this information updated. We’d also love to hear from you on suggestions for things that would make your visit easier.

Making your visit easier

For your visit to Croome you will find:

• Parking – there is ample parking in the main car park, which also offers plenty of Blue Badge parking spaces close to the Visitor Welcome Centre.
• Hearing impairment – Induction loops are available in all our front facing spaces.
• Assistance dogs – Assistance dogs are welcome across all areas of Croome including the parkland, house, RAF canteen and museum, and the privately-owned walled gardens. Croome is a two pawprint rated place, so other dogs are also welcome in the garden, parkland, shop and to queue up to purchase food from the café. We ask you to sit outside with your dog to eat and drink. Please be aware that there may be grazing livestock in the grounds.
• Changing Places Facility - this new facility provides ample space and equipment designed to support and help anyone who may be limited in their own mobility or who needs assistance to be changed. This facility offers a spacious and well-equipped space that includes an adjustable changing bench, a ceiling hoist system, height adjustable sink and ample room for carers and support equipment. Access is via a Radar key supplied on the building. Spare keys are located at Visitor Reception and in the Cafe.
• Eating and drinking – Large handled cutlery, seats with arm rests, picnic benches with spaces for mobility vehicles and wheelchairs. The main café at the RAF Visitor Centre has step free access.
• Wheelchairs – We have two wheelchairs for visitors to borrow. Please see below for more information.
• Mobility vehicles – We have three all-terrain mobility vehicles (“trampers”) available to borrow. These are designed to enable those with mobility requirements to access the wider parkland terrain. Please see below for details on how to hire one of these for your visit.
• Surfaces and terrain – The parkland can be accessed by gravelled pathway but please be aware of uneven surfaces and variable terrain.
• Toilets – Accessible toilets are available at the Visitor Centre and there is an accessible portaloo outside the main house.
• Stepped access – Our Visitor Centre, main café, shop, toilets are all level or ramped access. The main house has stepped entrances but we have a stairclimber so wheelchair users can be assisted into the main showroom level.
• Sensory bags – We have sensory bags available to borrow for those with sensory needs. Please ask at our Visitor Welcome Centre on arrival.
