Are you a small venue and fancy doing something for Disabled Access Day?
Often we are contacted by venues who are keen to take part in the day but aren’t quite sure what to do...
What can hotels do for #AccessDay?
Who doesn’t love a weekend away in a lovely hotel? We certainly do! Too often, hotels have incredible facilities for disabled guests that are not publicised when they should be celebrated! With Disabled Access Day 2017 heading our way in March, we want to ensure that this positivity strikes hard and hotels have all the hints and tips they need to prepare for #AccessDay.
Is this your first time holding an #AccessDay event?
With Disabled Access Day 2017 looming ever near, many fantastic organisations and venues have got in touch with us to tell us how much they would love to get involved themselves, but also that this will be their first ever Disabled Access Day… both exciting and nerve-wracking at once!!

Disabled Access Day: A personal side!
With only three months to go until a weekend of fun, adventure and, of course, accessibility in March 2017, it is all too easy for us in the Disabled Access Day office to get swept away with organisation sign-ups, sponsors and Christmas parties.
On the fence about taking part in Disabled Access Day 2017? Read on!
Disabled Access Day, now in its third year of operation, always promises to be an event of fun, adventure and, quite possibly, the unexpected for both disabled people and the businesses and organisations taking part to open their doors for all.
Disabled Access Day 2017 and our Access Surveys: Why are they so important?
According to our Access Survey that we run annually with Euan’s Guide, more than 50% of people who answered the survey in 2016 claimed that a lack of accessibility information, both on and offline, prevented them from venturing out and trying new venues, eateries or accommodations, simply because they didn’t know what they might find when they got there, if they were even able to get through the front door! This is one of the huge problems that are facing disabled people today, and yet it’s so ridiculously simple to address!
The Access Survey 2016
Together with Euan’s Guide, we’re asking how easy it is to find disabled access information about the places you’d like to visit.
