Bridgemere Garden World is part of the Wyevale Group and has an extensive range of plants in the nursery area including a selection of rare and unusual plants. There is also a large under cover shopping area with gifts and garden accessories, tools and equipment, a restaurant and cafe, several independently owned shops such as Hobbycraft and free entrance to a six acre garden.

Access around the main site is good and mainly level with only the large greenhouse (with it rough floor surface) and some areas of the gardens needing light assistance.

Please note the designated toilets in the ladies and gents outside the main entrance are not accessible for wheelchair users due to the steeply ramped entrance and the limited internal dimensions in the cubicles. There are however 3 other accessible toilets on site, for further details of these facilities see below.
