Cribbs is accessible for everybody

We want all our visitors to enjoy Cribbs. That’s why it’s been designed with accessibility in mind—and why we offer free use of wheelchairs and scooters from Accessibility, our service for shoppers who need extra assistance. Our Accessibility Centre has been temporarily relocated to Car Park J as we carry out improvements to our car parking facilities. There will be road diversions in place to direct you, or you can speak to our on site team who will be happy to assist you.

Mobile Phone charging on the move

Joos allows you to charge on the move, meaning you can always use your phone to stay connected, make payments and more - all without having to wait by a plug in the wall or locking your phone away!

You can pick up a Joos power bank at the Joos Box located at the Upper Level Toilet lobby by Cafes & Restaurants or at the Lower Level Toilet lobby by M&S. Simply download the Joos app on iPhone or Android, use the map to locate your nearest Joos Box and charge while you shop, stress free!

Once charged, you can return the charger to any of the Joos Boxes, either in the shopping centre or in another venue, whichever is the most convenient for you! Simply find your nearest and hit the return button.

Joos allows you to charge safely, too. Between users, Joos power banks quarantine themselves in their protective slot long enough to kill off viral agents. All of Joos' equipment and power banks are also sanitised for extra comfort. But that’s not all, the power banks are made with medical grade antimicrobial plastic... for that extra peace of mind.

Joos is located at:
