“Inclusive community arts festival!” “Everybody welcome!” “Events for all!”
No access info for any of the venues
Box office is inaccessible
Google “[festival name] accessibility”; get info on their “accessible pricing” (pay £1 less if you want to). No mention of free tickets for essential carers
Do a lot of disability detective work; most venues don’t have wheelchair access
One claims to be accessible, look inside: “we’re an accessible venue. There are three steps to get in, but we can help you with those”.
“Everybody welcome*”
*excludes wheelchair users, you can get fucked
This and "masking optional" signs at best without even some free baggy blue procedural masks on a table is why I stopped doing so much stuff in my area. The Pride committee in the town next to me that does a big Pride parade explicitly stated that lawn chairs wouldn't be allowed because they "take up too much space..." So fuck anyone who can't stand for hours in the June heat, right?
