Accessibility:
There is no car park for the store itself so it needs to be accessed either via public transport (there are bus stops directly outside the store) or on foot from the car parks central to Cardiff. The nearest public car park is Cardiff Westgate Street NCP (CF10 1DZ), which is opposite to Principality Stadium and has four disability spaces. However, when there's a major event in Cardiff, there can be road closures, so please check before you leave home.
The store has a level doorway, but inside there are steps up to the store itself. There is a disability lift up to the store, avoiding the steps. The store is flat with wide aisles and a wooden floor, making it easy to navigate. There are bench-type seats in the theatre area for you to watch the history of the stadium.
There are no toilet facilities at the store. The nearest would be located in the city centre - please see the website link: https://nks.directenquiries.com/nks/search.aspx?tab=RADAR+Accessible+Toilets&type=L&where=Cardiff+City+Centre&id=2573&level=1
