Do You Dream of a
Day Out?
Reg. Charity 1000659
13th Edition
Spring 2015
A guide to access
and facilities for
elderly & disabled people.
This is the 13th edition of the “Days Out” Booklet which we
have been able to produce.
Further copies can be obtained from us at
The Independent Living Centre at Semington, BA14 6JQ.
We have recently contacted all of the locations listed to
ensure the booklet is up to date. If you have visited
somewhere you feel should be included why not let us
know by telephoning 01380 871007.
Unfortunately, we are unable to corroborate the information
in the booklet, so if you are planning a visit and have
specific requirements, or need to know what type of path
surfaces are provided, we do urge you to ring the telephone
number shown to ensure your needs can be met.
There are 48 entries in this year’s booklet offering a wide
range of entertainment to enjoy.
So go ahead and have a great
“DAY OUT”
