Where Can You Go for a Wheelchair-Friendly Day Out in Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon or Burnham-on-Sea?

A staple of the Weston experience, the Grand Pier combines entertainment, accessibility and comfort under one roof. Open every day except Christmas Day, this enclosed space is ideal for changeable weather and those needing step-free access.

• Wheelchair Access: Level entry throughout and accessible toilets
• Toilets for Disabled Visitors: Clearly marked and well-maintained

Inside you’ll find arcade games, a soft play area for little ones, and a go-kart track for older children.

For families visiting on Father’s Day, the pier provides an inclusive space for fun, no matter your age or needs.

Parking Nearby

The Melrose and Carlton Street car parks are the most convenient and offer marked disabled bays.

Clevedon’s gently sloping beachfront and pier make it easy for visitors who use mobility aids to enjoy the view. The miniature train is particularly popular with children and provides a small adventure that doesn’t involve any stairs or awkward transfers.

• Car Parks: Look for Salthouse Fields for flat, accessible parking
• Toilets: Public toilets including disabled access along the promenade
• Cafés: Several options, including ones with outdoor seating

If you’re looking for a slower pace or a place to enjoy an ice cream, this is a great area to stop and take in the sea air.
