2nd time invited to a function here. 1st time in main building it was great this time we were in a marquee which looked good but safety wise it was a minefield. The main floor was on two levels only a difference of about 3" , at the main entrance there is a ramp between the two levels at about 45 degree angle but nothing to warn you it's there. Further along ramp disappears and becomes a step even more dangerous but again with no warnings.
When you cross the lawn to enter the marquee there is a steep ramp up to the decked area outside the tent which wasn't too bad in daylight but after sunset with very poor lighting you take your safety in your own hands. Going down the ramp was terrifying and when you get to the bottom where you believe you are safe there is a pothole hidden by the grass. On leaving to go back to the ferry you have to walk across the lawn without any lights showing the way and there are many potholes to avoid, The torch feature on my mobile was the only way to miss them. All these safety concerns are dangerous to people with all their facilities but my wife who is disabled wouldn't have stood a chance alone.
If ever we are invited to attend another function here we would seriously have to give it a lot of thought.
