Waste Free Lunch
Visitors to CERES are requested to be waste-free – not bringing or creating any rubbish during their trip. Your booking confirmation letter will contain more information.
Wheelchair Access
We are working towards full wheelchair access across CERES. We recommend that all visitors using wheelchairs are accompanied by a support person as some parts of the site have difficult surfaces; gravel, inclines, sand, muddy after rain. There are wheelchair accessible toilets at CERES. Please alert our Bookings staff if there will be visitors in wheelchairs with your group.
