A full tour of Newstead Abbey House involves many stairs, and the historic nature of the building prevents major alterations. Unfortunately, this restricts wheelchair users to parts of the ground floor of the Abbey.
Consequently the concessionary admission fee is charged to a person in a wheelchair for the House and Gardens. A carer accompanying a wheelchair user is also entitled to this reduced rate.
A wheelchair is available for loan. A disabled toilet is available, and parking for wheelchair users is available on the south side of the House, along the drive past the cafe at the Abbey. Please use the door phone on the south side of the House to gain access to those parts of Newstead Abbey House accessible to people in wheelchairs.
For those visitors who would like the opportunity to sit down during their tour of the House and Gardens, there are chairs throughout the House for visitors, and benches in the Gardens.
An audio tour is available to guide visually impaired visitors through the House.
For more information, please call 0115 915 3684 and ask for a copy of Newstead Abbey's brochure for visitors with a disability.
