I paid a short visit to The Portobello Workshop at a nice quiet time. It is nice and spacious and has something for everyone.

The entrance is not level access however a portable ramp can be brought out. There is a doorbell to alert the staff to bring this if they don’t see you at the door. There is some seating around the shop which I thought was great for someone who might need a rest.

I came by bus (Lothian 21, 26, 42, 49, 124 buses pass through here) and I believe there is some curbside parking on the High Street.

0I did not use the toilet or notice it in the shop. Their website describes a narrow staff toilet that customers can use but not sure if it is accessible.

Super kind and helpful when making sure the ramp was placed safely.
