Accessability at Bailgate

We have always been concerned with making Bailgate more accessible to those who have difficulty, but recently we have been working with a particular focus on being more ‘user friendly’.

Although the main doors have a set of steps to get up to them, just around the corner we have had a ramp built. This leads into the side door, and from there you enter church in the usual way. At the rear of the pews, in the centre, there is a bay for wheelchair users. This is within the pews and has a pew next to it for friends/relatives to sit with you.

If you are attending a communion service, and are unable to kneel comfortably, then please remain stood at the rail, if you feel unable to make it to the communion rail, please speak to a steward before the service, and the minister will deliver communion to where you are sat.

After the service, by proceeding along the right hand side, you will find another ramp with bannister to assist you. The rear hallway now has an access toilet installed which meets the latest regulations, and also has a baby changing table.

There are ramps by all the rear doors to the church, and we also have a disabled only car parking space in the car park. This is right next to the door.

If you would like to see more of the facilities before attending, please use the virtual tour, or contact us, we will do our very best to address any concerns or enquiries.
