There will be a safe space at Village Green, located at the back of the Metal Art School. This will be open between 11am-6:30pm and will be staffed by Disability Awareness and Dementia Friendly trained volunteers. There will be a shade, somewhere to sit, a disabled toilet and access to a sterile kitchen and fridge (if medicines need to be stored).

ASSISTANCE DOGS

We welcome assistance dogs onto the site.

STROBE LIGHTING
