Wheelchair users & visitors with reduced mobility: 
The market is largely accessible. A few benches are available. Please report to the Tourist Information Office (by the gate); if space is available, you may sit down with a maximum of one companion. Please note: this seating area is sometimes full, partly due to school groups. The adjacent Tourist Information Office and the Cheese Museum are also wheelchair accessible and have recently been assessed for accessibility.

There is a public address system that announces what is happening in several languages. There is no specific audio description service available.

Visitors with hearing impairments: 
People with hearing aids equipped with a telecoil can listen via setting T.

Visitors sensitive to stimuli: 
The market is busy and stimulating. There are no special facilities or quiet zones available.
