Accessibility
Leeds Castle has accessible toilets and Changing Places facilities across the estate, and disabled admission normally includes one free carer. However, the Castle specifically states that its daytime mobility bus does not operate on special ticketed event days such as fireworks. If you need mobility support for the Fireworks Spectacular, check the event-specific arrangements directly with Leeds Castle before booking.
Getting There
Parking is available at Leeds Castle, while car-free visitors can use rail services to Bearsted or Hollingbourne and local bus connections. Because this is a special evening event, check return transport times carefully before travelling.
