Disabled Access Day returns this year on Saturday 16^th March. The event, started in 2015, starting out as a day to celebrate good access and create opportunities for people to try something new.

In 2019 Disabled Access Day aims to introduce fully accessible ‘Changing Places’ toilets in public places.

The event, run by the team behind the popular review website Euan’s Guide, brings together venues and their disabled visitors in the spirit of trying something new. Venues are asked to take part in the event. A guide of all venues taking part can be found on the website. Due to the success of the day, parliament has even backed a motion in support of the event! Several major attractions such as Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral signed up too.

Disabled Access Day founder Paul Ralph announced his vision for 2019 stating:

“Disabled Access Day continues to encourage and excite disabled people and businesses with the opportunity to try something new in a spirit of cooperation, safety and fun. For 2019, I call out to people to try something new and send a review. Leave a legacy for folk who may want to visit after you. It’s knowing those baseline details about access that are the deal breakers for so many people.”
