Community Facilities
Changing Places Facility
Changing Places are designed to be completely accessible and provide sufficient space and equipment for people who are not able to use the toilet independently. The room is designed to accommodate a user and up to two carers, plus mobility equipment. The room has facilities such as a specialist hoist, a rise and fall sink and an adult changing bench, offering discreet toilet facilities to members of the public that may otherwise be deterred from visiting. This is one of only two of these facilities in a retail environment in Halton.
The facility is located between the Market Café, the Accessible Toilet and Crème de le Crème Hairdressers, and is clearly signposted.
Breastfeeding Room
The breastfeeding room at Widnes Market offers a serene and comfortable space for parents and caregivers. Equipped with cozy seating, soft lighting, it ensures a peaceful environment for nursing or feeding young children. The room also includes a changing table, toys to keep young children occupied and some guidance and information about breastfeeding, making it convenient and welcoming for visitors. Its thoughtful design reflects a commitment to supporting parents and enhancing their experience while at The Market.
This facility is now also recognised by La Leche League GB, the breastfeeding support service.
Multi Faith Prayer Room
We have a Multi-Faith Prayer Room that welcomes individuals from all walks of life and beliefs.
This discreet space is designed to offer peace and reflection in an inclusive environment. It features calming decor and flexible seating arrangements to accommodate various prayer practices.
The room is equipped with resources such as a prayer mat, kneeling cushions and relevant literature and is located between Lou’s Barber Shop and AK Connections.
Water refill Point
A water refill point is available for public use, this is located internally at the entrance of the fish and meat market.
Market visitors can refill water bottles free of charge. This also offers an opportunity to help reduce our carbon footprint and the amount of plastic making its way into oceans and landfill.
