New accessible playground opens at Woodhorn Museum in time for February half term

A new accessible playground has opened at a Northumberland museum after a test run by children from The Dales School in Blyth.

Woodhorn Museum went to the drawing board to make its play area more accessible to families after receiving feedback that it wasn't suitable for all children.

This has led to refurbishment with new accessible play equipment, including a pairs game to build memory skills; a ferraphone to introduce music and sound; a cradle nest swing that has space for more than one child; a conference station to enable children to communicate across the play site; and a wheelchair accessible rotating plate.
