Children’s parties with special menus and trails are available on request. School groups welcome by arrangement.

Pushchairs are welcome in the garden.  However, some paths are steep and others have steps, so managing a pushchair may be difficult in places. Baby changing facilities and highchairs available.

 

If you have mobility problems please ring in advance to arrange suitable parking.

Trebah is a ravine garden with some steep sections and steps on some paths which make wheelchair use difficult.  However, motorised buggies are available for visitors.  Please telephone in advance to book as they are very much in demand.  A full demonstration and map is given to all visitors requesting the use of a buggy.  Visitors can see 80% of the garden in a motorised buggy.

In the Hibbert Centre there is a spacious disabled toilet and good access through the cafe, gift shop, garden shop and plant sales area.
