Wheelchair Accessible Crazy Golf Is ‘UK’s First’
It is claimed a new wheelchair-height attraction is the ‘UK’s first purpose-built outdoor destination for accessible crazy golf’.
The 12 hole, Alice In Wonderland themed obstacle course is a blend of crazy golf and snooker, with participants using a cue instead of a putter.
Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton was opened in 2013. It has been designed around the needs of children with sensory, learning and physical disabilities but built for all young people to enjoy.
Owner Nick Laister said the new attraction “underlines why we launched Fairytale Farm in the first place: to provide a space where everybody – regardless of their disability or background – can join in and have fun.”
Mr Laister said “Crazy golf and snooker are two popular family sports in the UK, and as far as we know, there are no other outdoor attractions that have merged the two sports together in the way that we are doing.
“My daughter, Olivia, has cerebral palsy, and so I know how much of a difference fully accessible attractions can make to helping families create fun and joyful memories together.”
Nick and Nicola Laister spent almost five years creating Fairytale Farm, which was opened by former Prime Minister David Cameron.
The farm also features adventure playgrounds, and animals including ponies, pigs, alpacas, goats and rheas, a species of bird from South America.
