Visited 3 December 2024

Laxton, Newark, Nottinghamshire.

Note! Refurbishment works were ongoing at the centre at the time of our visit.

Car park - general car park had compact gravel and earth. There is a winding disability path through the Memorial Garden from the car park to the centre building. avoiding steps. Disability car park has separate entrance from the main road. This is close to the centre building and the cafe.

Paths outside - paths around the Memorial gardens are negotiable, but with some care, as the gardens are on a slope and the paths are narrow in places. Nearer the house the paths are mostly flat and could be manouvred over with ease. Many paths are made of bricks.

Walkways inside - there is enough space to move around in most areas. The Centre consists of many small exhibit areas which can be negotiated in a wheelchair, although some areas have tight access.

Doors - some doorways have low ridges, which may require extra effort to get over. Most of the doors need to be held open while passing through.

Lighting - much of the lighting is subdued, particularly there is low lighting between exhibits. Some text panels were difficult to read due to low lighting.

Internal flooring - mainly wood, carpets and stone slabs.

Colours - the graphics for the exhibitions used darker colours, such as browns and greys.

Cafe - a small selection of cakes, sandwiches, biscuits and hot and cold drinks. There was plenty of room to manouvre around in the cafe.

Toilets - there is a fully equipped disabled access toilet.

Lifts - lifts are available for access to the exbition and other facilities.

Atmosphere - the atmosphere is solemn and respectful. This exhibition is about the suffering of people and therefore some of the contents is challenging.
