Wimpole Hall is now more accessible, with a new Stair Climber helping more visitors reach the historic ground floor with ease
Many more visitors can now be welcomed onto the ground floor of the National Trust’s Wimpole Hall, thanks to the installation of a Stair Climber. Enabling wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to ascend the stone steps with ease, this state-of-the-art equipment is already making a huge difference to visitors.
During a successful trial in 2024, 788 people were able to experience Wimpole Hall who might otherwise have missed out. Plus, the innovative design requires no structural changes to the historic building itself. Many other National Trust properties across the country are now benefitting from Stair Climbers, including Peckover House and Garden in Wisbech – just in time for summer!
