Oswestry Show visitors with mobility issues will be able to hire scooters and wheelchairs so they can enjoy the day with their family and friends, whilst also enjoying a demonstration of a new set of wheels.

Shropshire Mobility Solutions is the mobility partner for the show, which is marking its 138th anniversary this year and will be held at Oswestry Showground in Park Hall on Saturday August 2nd.

Staff from the specialist mobility shop in Welsh Frankton near Oswestry, will be assisting show visitors with the correct scooters or wheelchairs at the start of the day, whilst also unveiling the latest scooter off the production line – the Sterling S800 by Scoozy.

Scott Marston, co-owner of Shropshire Mobility Solutions, said the new 8mph Scoozy mobility scooter was “a real show stopper”.

“We have been serving the visitors of Oswestry Show with their pre-booked mobility solutions for several years now and it is always a delight when they return the mobility scooters and wheelchairs at the end of the day and tell us what a fantastic day they have had due to the accessibility and comfort our hiring service offered them.

“The new Sterling S800 by Scoozy is a brilliant piece of kit and already loved by people across the UK, including many who have transitioned from a bike to using a scooter.

“It has 18 inch pneumatic tyres, a swivel seat, advanced suspension, bike-like handlebars and 5-speed settings.

“Oswestry Show attracts so many people from the rural area so it is great to show people with mobility issues how accessible our beautiful county can be when you’ve got the right wheels. From a trip to town to enjoying our Shropshire countryside and nature trails, no-one should feel left out or unable to enjoy those areas.

“The most important thing is every customer will have the right wheels for them based on their weight, height and mobility issues. It isn’t a one size fits all and safety is paramount.

“We are looking forward to celebrating agricultural heritage and the community together with show organisers and the many visitors the event attracts year on year.”

Shropshire Mobility Solutions offers the hiring service at events across Shropshire, Mid and North Wales and the West Midlands.
