You can also search venues by using our accessibility search on the home page.

Equality Act 2010

Tourism businesses have obligations under The Equality Act, which replaced the Disability Discrimination Acts 1995 and 2005 (DDA) on 1 October 2010. This includes treating everyone accessing their goods, facilities or services fairly, regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, gender reassignment, religion or belief, and guard against making assumptions about the characteristics of individuals.
