Pedestrian access
Pedestrian access without booking is available daily, 12pm to 12.30pm.
Vehicles are banned during those times to allow pedestrians, bicycles, and bikes with trailers safe access. Please don't park your vehicle outside the centre and walk in as this causes spillages and issues for passing traffic.
