Health & Safety:
No particular health and safety issues apart from possibly someone tripping on an entry step. None of the buildings have difficult entryways, only 2 or 3 steps to get inside.
The road outside is quite busy at weekends so care must be taken getting in and out of cars if parked outside the grounds. There is plenty of parking inside the venue area off the road.
