Transportation Accessibility

Remember Us!

It's been quite difficult to do anything with all the lockdowns. We managed to get one Opus trip in between lockdown 1 and lockdown 2, plus a trip in a fish & chip train.

Pot Painting at the Ceramic Cafe

Who doesn't love a bit of pot painting? Especially when your pot is glazed and fired for you afterwards, so you can use it at home. It's quite a creative and relaxing experience, and something we'd definitely do again!

Accessible Attractions

Concorde Tour at Manchester Airport

This was a trip that brought back some happy memories for me, as I hadn't seen a Concorde since I worked at Heathrow Airport, and it was a good day out too!

Visually Impaired Experiences

Ford Green Hall 17th Century Yuletide

This week we've gone back in time to celebrate Christmas. We went to Ford Green Hall and learned how Christmas was celebrated in Tudor/Stuart times.

Gladstone Pottery Museum Christmas Fun Day

Another opportunity for us to celebrate Christmas early! This time at the Gladstone Pottery Museum. For us, this was a much better experience than the one we had at Middleport Pottery.
