Accessibility:

There is free parking at the centre with some blue badge spaces near to the entrance. The centre is as wheelchair accessible as possible, with automated doors and lifts in place. Although the windmill has stairs - which makes the tour a no-go area for wheelchairs - there is a 'Feet on the ground guided windmill tour'. The toilets are fully accessible and the theatre is fitted with a hearing loop. Assistance dogs are welcome.

Brief Description:

The Green Britain Centre focuses on renewable forms of energy, new forms of transport and sustainable food. It uses hands-on displays allowing access for people of all ages and abilities. You can also take a guided tour and climb to the top of a modern windmill.
