In key areas throughout the building you will be able to see that there are hearing loops fitted to make things easier for those who are hard of hearing.
Changing Places
In each main changing area of the building you may see signs for changing places. These facilities have been designed with fully automated adjustable beds and ceiling hoists to help people with physical difficulties to enjoy the centre. If you need to access one of these rooms or remote controls for the beds and hoists please ask a colleague who will be happy to help.
Alternatively throughout the building you will find accessible toilets specifically designed with wheelchair users in mind.
