Accessibility
At Discover Newmarket, we are striving to ensure our town is an accessible destination. We are working closely with Suffolk County Council and the national accessibility organisation AccessAble so that you can find plenty of helpful information about accessibility ahead of a trip to Newmarket.
Thanks to funding from Suffolk Growth, you’ll discover links to Access Guides for a number of our accommodation, eateries, attractions and experiences on our website. For accessibility details about public transport and car parks, go to Planning Your Journey. You can also search for other venues in the growing coverage of Suffolk on AccessAble.
A free Shopmobility service is available at Newmarket Library and the Changing Places toilet is located at The Guineas Shopping Centre.
We have also designed a streetscape guide that shows an accessible route between the railway station and the High Street which points out places of interest along the way. All members of Discover Newmarket have received free e-training about best practice for responding to accessibility enquiries and Newmarket will feature in accessibility itineraries being developed for visitors wishing to explore Suffolk more widely.
We’re committed to ensuring Newmarket offers fantastic experiences for every visitor to our welcoming town. Watch our promotional video to find out more.
