Access guidance
- All of our buildings, both modern and historic, are fully wheelchair accessible. We keep a wheelchair in our Visitor Centre for free use. If you feel you need it, please just ask! The only exception to this is our Roman villa, which unfortunately has one inaccessible room. This shouldn't impact your visit too much, though, as you can still get a very good view inside. Please note that some buildings may feature a slight bump on entrance. Most of our visitors have no difficulty using mobility aids or pushchairs at Butser. The site is mostly flat, with a slight slope in places and grassy terrain underfoot. We believe in maintaining an authentic atmosphere, and so we use natural materials like clay and gravel for our paths. This means that many of them can be uneven and/or muddy.
- All our parking is free for our visitors. Our main car park is right beside the Visitor Centre and is fully accessible. Please be aware our overflow carpark is in a grassy field on a hill, so if you have any concerns about mobility you may want to be dropped off and picked up in the main car park.
- We have one disabled toilet located in our Visitor Centre.
- Assistance dogs are always welcome at Butser. During day admission, pet dogs are welcome too! We provide dog bowls and water at our Visitor Centre.
- Registered carers of disabled adults are entitled to free entry. Simply select the 'Visitor with Carer' ticket option. If you have proof of your carer status, please being it along with you. Children under 16 may not enter the site unaccompanied, though carers of disabled children can get discounted entry. Select the 'Visitor with Carer' ticket option to receive a 60% discount on buying your ticket separately. The 'Visitor with Carer' ticket entitles both you and the person you care for to enter.
- Because Butser is an open-air museum, we can't 100% guarantee the atmosphere (light/sound/heat etc). Take a look at our accessibility page to see some information about what to expect.
