Accessibility
We have chosen the Marriott hotel because of its accessibility. There is a section in the car park for disabled parking. The show is all on one level, the only exception being a breakout seating area which is on the Mezzanine level. We leave as large aisles as possible. If you have any further requirements or questions please use the contact form before the show so we may accommodate you.
Please let us know if you need access to the workshops and we will ensure someone can remove any excess chairs in the rooms.
