Hire mobility equipment at Westonbirt

Visitors with mobility issues are welcome to use our free of charge mobility scooters, manual wheelchairs or manual trike wheelchair.

Is a mobility scooter right for you? 

Mobility scooters are easy to use, though do require a level of strength and the ability to be able to be driven without assistance. You will be given instructions on how to use the scooter on arrival. 

For safety please do not allow anyone else to ride the scooter with you including young children.

We reserve the right to refuse a mobility scooter if we believe it is not the right option for you and will offer other options if more suitable.  View our types of mobility equipment document.

How to book

You can check availability and book mobility equipment by selecting the date of your visit and clicking the extras tab. We strongly advise that you book a day admission ticket alongside a scooter/wheelchair to guarantee entry, however this is optional. 

Mobility equipment is available to book up to 7-14 days prior to your visit, but must be booked at least 1 day in advance. If you cannot see the date that you would like to visit, please return to the booking page on Tuesday at midday, as this is when additional upcoming dates are available. 

Once booked, you can collect your equipment from 9.30am on the morning of your visit, please check the return time stated on your ticket. Please bear with us whilst we issue mobility equipment and respond to visitor enquiries during busy periods, there may be an unavoidable wait in receiving your reserved equipment.

Alternatively, you are welcome to bring your own mobility scooter or wheelchair with you. 

Which paths can you take?

All the hard paths around the arboretum are accessible for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. For your safety we ask that you stay on the hard paths and do not travel over grass or off-road areas.
