Step-free access into the Church
Not all our Volunteers are trained to lift and position the ramps that are required to create step-free access into the Church. This may mean that we are not able to offer step-free access to the Heritage Centre on some occasions when the Centre is open.
To be sure of gaining entry if you require step-free access, please contact us using the email below before you visit so that we can arrange a mutually convenient time when the ramps will be in position and safe entry created. Please contact us at enquiries.bamptonheritage@gmail.com
