Disabled access at the Allendale Centre, Wimborne
This information may be of use to customers and Centre users with a disability.
We have had to change entry/exit arrangements due to the Covid 19 situation - these changes are reflected below.
Please do get in touch if you have further questions or requirements.
-
The Allendale Centre is entirely on the ground floor, except for the Minster Hall stage and lighting control area
-
The front entrance (for Reception, Minster Hall, Wobble Room, Canford Room and Allen Valley Milk Machine) has automatic sliding doors and a very gentle incline
-
The side entrance (for Julian Room) has a slightly steeper ramped entrance, and hinged doors opening outwards
-
Entry to/exit from the Quarter Jack Hall now has steps but we're happy to facilitate access via one of the ramped entry/exit points - please ask at Reception on arrival, or contact us in advance to arrange
-
Cafe @ the Allendale has ramped access for entry/exit, and level access to/from toilets, Reception and Minster Hall

There are four descending-ramped emergency exits:
from the Minster Hall
from the Quarter Jack Hall corridor
