Our Commitment

Everyone is welcome in our venue, and we are aware that there are a number of improvements needed to make the venue fully accessible. We are aware that not all disabilities are visible, and we are striving to make the venue available for as many people to enjoy as possible. We will review our accessibility statement regularly, and intend to make improvements to the building, our communications, and our processes wherever possible and practical. The venue is housed within a historic building and there are a number of structural limitations which prevent certain adaptations being made, but we are committed to doing our very best with the resources we have available.
