Thanks for flagging up this exhibition, BlueLightning. It could be a good day out for my wife and I. If anyone reading this is familiar with the venue, can I get in with a wheelchair? I don't want to attempt it on crutches and land in someones layout!

IT's OK for wheelchair's all on one leval . In the passed it's been in two rooms and a walkway between the class rooms. It's only 5 mins from my house.

Thanks for the video of an enjoyable show, Daniel. And thanks also to Crompton for advising me that I would have no "access" problems.
