Next up in our City Spotlight series is Edinburgh. The capital city of Scotland is arguably one of the most picturesque cities in the United Kingdom, with an enchanting old town that dates all the way back to medieval times! It certainly needs no introduction to us, as our very own Disabled Access Day HQ is located here!
We are really excited to bring you another venue spotlight and this time it’s from Royal Collection Trust who manage the public opening of the official residences of The Queen and are responsible for the care of the Royal Collection!
Britannia was home to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family for over 40 years, sailing one million miles around the world. Berthed in Edinburgh's historic Port of Leith, Britannia is now a five-star visitor attraction, as well as an exclusive evening events venue.
This week, our city spotlight is on London. The vibrant, capital city is never short of exciting events and Disabled Access Day is no exception. From a football community open day at Hackney Wick F.C. to a beach themed craft activity day at the Unicorn theatre, there’s sure to be something to suit even the pickiest of tastes.
We are delighted to announce that Quest 88, inclusive cycle specialist, are a supporter of Disabled Access Day.
Barclays, official partners of Disabled Access Day, are regularly ahead of the game in the world of accessible banking. Their pioneering technology and innovative ideas make banking an enjoyable and straightforward task for everybody, and we’re excited to bring you their new bPay by Barclaycard offer for #AccessDay newsletter readers!
There’s only a few weeks to go until Disabled Access Day, but it’s not too late to sign up! Hundreds of venues from all over the UK, and abroad, have been eager to take part in #AccessDay on the 10th to the 12th of March 2017, and have come up with some excellent event ideas that are inclusive to all.
For some time now, those of all abilities and the ones they hold dear have been subject to a less than adequate situation: a society that takes, but does not return kindness when that often used, but more frequently misunderstood, lexical choice ‘inclusion’ leaves the mouths of many. A day to day routine of steps, small bathing facilities and that word that few are keen on: ‘NO!’ no longer needs to be the case with a fun, frolicsome but downright serious initiative that has been ringing in our ears for the last three years – Disabled Access Day (or, #AccessDay for those savvy tweeters…or is it twitters? I can’t quite remember.)
It’s not a tough task to find a dog lover in the UK, but for some disabled people, our canine companions are much more than pets; they’re our partners in crime! Assistance dogs are a huge part of the Disabled Access Day family, and we want to celebrate their amazing work, and, of course, the cuteness overload they bring, over our #AccessDay weekend in March.
‘Fun for all the family’ is a phrase that is in high demand for many people looking for a day out for everyone to enjoy. At Disabled Access Day, we are no different, and here are just a few venues and attractions that can provide incredibly accessible experiences, whatever your age and especially if you’re a big kid at heart!
