Talks and panels will be amplified and we are able to provide access via sound loop and a BSL interpreter on request. Please let us know if you need this kind of support.
A variety of workshops are available with different options for those who have specific needs. Some workshops will be hosted as seated events in classroom settings with amplified sound and the option for BSL interpreters and a sound loop if you need this kind of support.
Walking workshops will take place at a slow pace and will stay on wide, paved pathways. If you would like to take part in a specific workshop and have questions about how we can meet your accessibility needs please contact us.
