I would like to say yes however, bear in mind that, even if I will make it as comfortable as possible for you with access and care, a fabric tour is 1 hour minimum of walking and standing. Do contact me to discuss your specific requirements.
In all cases please wear comfortable shoes. At the moment I am not able to work with those who need a wheelchair. Be reassured that this will be looked at for the future.
