What is the published access information for Stratford-upon-Avon?

Temporary market layouts, queues and street surfaces can affect access. Contact the organiser for the current step-free routes and exact accessible toilet locations.

Does a walking time establish a step-free route?

No. Walking estimates and map pins are navigation aids, not an audit of kerbs, gradients, surfaces or accessible entrances. Confirm the approach and any essential facilities before travelling.

Can I assume a hotel has a suitable accessible room?

No. Ask the property directly about the room, bathroom, entrance and any equipment you need before paying. A hotel’s location or map walking time does not establish room accessibility.

When is the market open?

28–29 November and 5–6 December 2026 only Saturdays noon–8pm; Sundays 10am–5pm. Check the organiser’s opening times on the day before travelling.

Plan with confidence

Stratford-upon-Avon market accessibility

Choose a comfortable route and give yourself time to enjoy the stalls.

Ask LSD Promotions to help you choose a step-free approach across the market streets, and to locate accessible toilets and suitable parking. Give your chosen day and any activity you plan to attend so the team can advise on the route.

Official access information / organiser enquiries

Step-free routes and surfaces

Stratford-upon-Avon station; approximately ten minutes on foot.

Plan the whole journey from your station exit or parking bay to the market entrance. Choose a route you can comfortably manage in both directions, including after dark, and allow time for crossings and crowds. If you use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, ask about temporary ramps, gradients and turning space at the part of the market you want to visit.

Blue Badge parking

The organiser names Rother Street, Bridgeway and Arden Street car parks, plus Bishopton Lane park and ride. Check operating times and road closures before driving; ask the council for Blue Badge bays with a suitable approach.

Check the specific bay or car park’s restrictions, permitted hours and route to the entrance. For a multi-storey, check lift availability before committing to the journey. Allow a little flexibility if a bay is occupied when you arrive.

Accessible toilets

Ask LSD Promotions for accessible toilet locations, equipment and opening hours for your chosen market day.

If you need particular equipment or transfer space, ask about those details before travelling. Check any key arrangement and the closing time, especially for a late visit. Changing Places facilities have different equipment from a standard accessible toilet, so name the facility you need when making an enquiry.

Quieter times and sensory needs

There are only four trading days. An earlier Sunday visit starts at 10am, while Saturday starts at noon. Ask the team about quieter opportunities if crowds or sound are a concern.

Pick a meeting point away from the busiest food queues and leave room for a break. A shorter first visit can help you decide which parts you would like to return to. If noise, lighting or waiting in line affects your visit, tell the team when arranging a session.

Assistance, companions and attractions

Contact LSD Promotions on 01384 877 336 or customerservice@lsdpromotions.com.

Ask about the specific ride, rink or activity you want, including any transfer and powered-wheelchair requirements. Arrange companion tickets before paying for the rest of the group, and check the assistance-dog arrangements for an indoor attraction separately from the outdoor market.
