This accessibility statement applies to ukfestivalguides.com. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website, and we are committed to making it accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

What We're Doing

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard. This means you should be able to:

  • Change colours, contrast levels, and fonts using browser settings
  • Zoom in up to 300% without losing content or functionality
  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard alone
  • Navigate using a screen reader
  • Understand all non-decorative images via descriptive alt text

We also use semantic HTML throughout, logical heading hierarchies, ARIA landmark roles, and sufficient colour contrast ratios. Forms include visible labels and error descriptions.

Known Limitations

We are aware of some areas that are not yet fully accessible. We are actively working on these:

  • Some older embedded third-party maps and media players may not be fully keyboard-navigable
  • Certain PDF documents linked from the site may not be screen reader-compatible
  • Some interactive components in the festival listing filters are keyboard-accessible but may not yet meet WCAG AA for all assistive technologies

We plan to address these issues in upcoming releases. If you encounter a problem not listed here, please let us know.

The site has been tested with the following:

  • NVDA and JAWS (Windows screen readers) with Chrome and Firefox
  • VoiceOver (macOS and iOS) with Safari
