Accessibility

Off the Shelf Festival of Words is committed to ensuring that our events remain welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. To support all attendees, festival venues are equipped with step-free wheelchair access, clear signage, and dedicated spaces to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. Some events feature British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation, audio assistance, or relaxed seating arrangements.

Because the festival takes place across a variety of unique locations throughout the city, specific features such as accessible parking, induction loops, step-free routes, and accessible toilets vary by site.
