Accessibility statement.

Our commitment

We are committed to making this website accessible to as many people as possible. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard where practical, though we have not yet completed a formal independent audit.

Measures we've taken

We have built this website with accessibility in mind. Specific measures in place include:

• • Semantic HTML elements throughout - such as nav, main, footer, headings, buttons and labels - so the page structure is clear to assistive technology.
• • Images that convey information carry meaningful alternative text. Purely decorative images - such as the hero background - are given an empty alt attribute and hidden from assistive technology, so they are not announced.
• • All form fields have visible labels that are explicitly associated with their inputs.
• • Form error messages are linked to the field they relate to using aria-describedby.
• • The FAQ accordion communicates its open and closed state with aria-expanded.
• • The mobile navigation (hamburger) button has an accessible label.
• • Decorative icons are hidden from assistive technology with aria-hidden.
• • We respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting. If you have asked your operating system to reduce motion, the moving background on our home page is not played - you are shown a still image instead, and the video file is not downloaded at all.
• • A visible gold focus ring shows keyboard users which element is currently focused.
• • Colour is used consistently as light text on dark backgrounds throughout, with gold (#CFAE59) on near-black (#100E0C) as the primary accent combination. That pairing measures 9.04:1, and body text (#F1ECE4) on the same background measures 16.38:1 - both exceed the WCAG AAA threshold of 7:1 for normal text.
• • Fonts are loaded with next/font for optimised loading with no layout shift.

The site can be navigated using a keyboard alone using standard browser controls - Tab to move between focusable elements, Enter or Space to activate buttons and links, and Escape to close the mobile menu. We have not implemented custom keyboard shortcuts.

Known limitations

• • The booking flow is provided by a third-party platform (Alba) and may not meet the same accessibility standards. We have no control over this element.
• • Colour contrast has been calculated across the palette but not independently audited. Every text pairing on the site meets WCAG AA for normal text. The tightest is the most muted body text (50% opacity) on a card background at 4.63:1, against the AA threshold of 4.5:1 - it passes, but with little margin. Gold on the darker panel behind the announcement banner and the featured membership card measures 6.97:1, which meets AA but falls short of the AAA threshold of 7:1.
• • We have not conducted formal screen reader testing. The site uses semantic HTML which should support screen reader navigation, but compatibility with specific assistive technologies has not been verified.

Feedback and contact

If you experience any accessibility barriers on this site, please contact us via the contact form. We take all accessibility feedback seriously and will aim to respond within 5 working days.

Formal compliance status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Known limitations are listed above. We intend to conduct a formal accessibility audit ahead of the venue opening.
