When was the last time you went to the theatre? Or maybe you’ve been to a music concert recently? What about a festival?
All entertainment venues should be accessible for people with visual impairment, but often this isn’t the case. From the booking process itself, to getting around the venue, we’ve heard first hand some of the key challenges.
That is why, this month, we’re pleased to announce the launch of our new accessible venues report.
This report has been co-produced with our Policy Group, made up of people with lived experience of visual impairment, and venues from across Scotland. It shines a light on examples of the wonderful work already in place to support customers with visual impairment and highlights recommendations to make event spaces more accessible to best meet the needs of blind and partially sighted people.
You can find here the full Accessible Venues report – Royal Blind operating as Sight Scotland. Printed copies, large print, and braille versions are also available.
Please send any requests to policy@sightscotland.org.uk
