New Mobility Event at Explosion the Museum of Naval Firepower

 

A new mobility event is taking place at Explosion from Tuesday 28th February to Thursday 1st March 2012. Wheelchair users and their carers will be entitled to complimentary entry.

 

The event will be based throughout the atmospheric site that is part of the Historic Dockyard complex. With a delightful café that overlooks the waterfront towards the Spinaker Tower and buildings dating back to a bygone era, the Museum features a number of interactive exhibits that demonstrate various dramatic aspects of firepower. The charities, café and museum are all indoors and Gowrings will have a range of vehicles on display around the site.

 

The aim of the roadshow, sponsored by Gowrings Mobility, is to inspire people with disabilities to experience attractions and places of interest they may not have otherwise considered. Stopping at top venues across the UK this year, including London and Bristol Zoos, Woburn Safari Park and the National Space Centre, the events are expected to attract many visitors.

 

Janet Seward, Sales and Marketing Director of accessible transport specialist Gowrings Mobility, said: “The aim of the programme is to show people what they can do and take the attitude that you really can ‘go where you want to go’. A free day out at Explosion will hopefully inspire visitors.”

 

Gowrings Mobility will be joined by a range of local charities and support groups on hand to provide information and advice for anyone with mobility difficulties and their carers. They are also running a free prize draw to win a VIP day out for two people including chauffeur driven wheelchair accessible transport to and from the event, Champagne on arrival and lunch.
