Mobility for the Disabled at The New Forest Show

The New Forest Show Society works hard to ensure that the disabled have good access and facilities at the Show. This includes not only parking safely near to the Showground but also having the opportunity to book on site power chairs to take them around the showground.

There are plenty of parking places for the disabled however it has to be stressed that the stewards can only admit those cars with registered disabled stickers clearly displayed ( including the correct pass for the occupant) so please do not try to enter this car park if you are not in possession of a valid sticker – you will be refused.

The New Forest Show has also invited Wheels for Freedom again to come to the Show.

They specialise in helping the disabled enjoy the local shows by providing a range of scooters, power chairs and wheel chairs for hire on site. Training will be given to all users of equipment and if a person is not able to reach their base location just by the public entrance to the showground because they have come by themselves, they will endeavour to bring it to them at the entrance gate of their choice.

It is vital that anyone wishing to take up this offer, books in advance by ringing Wheels of Freedom on 01202 661770. This will help the company try and ensure that all demands are met. If you read this and know of a friend or neighbour who would benefit from this facility please let them know, so they can come and enjoy the Show.

The New Forest & Hampshire County Show will be held at New Park, Brockenhurst on Tuesday 24th, Wednesday 25th AND Thursday 26th July.

Discounted tickets are available now on the credit card hotline – 01590 622409 or through the web site from June 1st at www.newforestshow.co.uk

Let the train take the strain as again this year the Show is putting on a continuous pay-as-you-go shuttle bus service from Brockenhurst mainline station right into the showground. Numbers increased last year and a poll of some of those who chose this hassle free way to travel, showed that many expressed delighted surprise at the ease of the service to the showground.
