Holidays should be a fun experience for all, so the last thing you should have to worry about when deciding where to go is whether the hotels and attractions are accessible. We want to show you that Nottinghamshire is an accessible destination just waiting to be discovered, so we are working with tourism partners throughout the county to provide as much information as possible on how you can explore the area, whatever your access needs.
In 2020, HomeToGo.co.uk ranked Nottingham the 20th most wheelchair friendly city in Europe, based on a database of over 17 million properties (encompassing all major holiday rental providers including AirBNB and Booking.com). However, accessibility cover a wide range of different people and needs, including those with physical disabilities, hearing and visual impairments, learning disabilities, people on the autism spectrum, the elderly and less mobile, wheelchair users and people with pushchairs.
On this page you will find information on accessibility in Nottinghamshire, from accommodation, attractions, and restaurants, to information for getting around.
We are working closely with businesses throughout the county to improve travel information for visitors with access needs. Information will be updated as we receive it. If you cannot find the information you are looking for please contact our Tourist Information Centre who will do their best to deal with your enquiry. You can contact them by sending email, calling +44(0)8444 77 5678, or in person at their office on Smith Row in the city centre.
We try our best to provide access statements for each listing in the Accommodation, Attractions and Food and Drink sections of our website. While having an access statement doesn't necessarily mean the building or venue is entirely access friendly, it does provide detailed information regarding the facilities available and how the business will accommodate those with access needs. When the below sign appears on a listing you will find a link to a PDF with the relevant information, which can be viewed online, printed or downloaded.
There are of course many more places to consider, it just means we haven’t yet received accessible information from those venues. We are working closely with our tourism partners to obtain more access information to present which will help you plan your visit. All of the businesses found within the accessible accommodation, drinking and dining, and attraction links below will have provided their access statements.
