Carer Request

Accessibility Application Process

Please read the points below and then fill out the application form

What we offer?

We are willing to send out a free ticket for any individual who requires a carer or personal assistant to attend the Festive Forest.

West Lothian Council have already made Beecraigs Country Park available for disabled visitors’ use and it is very accessible. Disabled guest parking is available in THE VISITOR CENTRE CAR PARK, around 200m from the event’s entrance. Disabled parking bays are on a ‘first-come’ basis. The illuminated trail is through a forest and is a mixture of tarmac and gravel. There are some steeper inclines but wheelchairs, scooters and pushchairs are suitable with due care and attention. However, please remember it is a forest, it is the winter and we are in Scotland, so some adverse weather conditions may occasionally impact the route in certain places. Please take this into consideration when purchasing your ticket. Unfortunately we cannot control the weather, but we have a friendly team on hand to guide you through the trail.

Assistance dogs will be permitted and an access request can be submitted via the form.
