About 60% of Mead Open Farm has paths made of concrete or tarmac; however the paddocks are only accessible over grass (unfortunately sometimes muddy during wet weather).

Wheelchairs will be able to easily access all the animal buildings and Shaggy’s PlayWorld come rain or shine! The animal paddocks and some outdoor play areas are however only accessible over grass (unfortunately difficult for wheelchairs in wet weather).

Disabled toilet facilities are available within two of the main buildings, as well as parking spaces reserved by the entrance for the ‘registered disabled’.
