DIY Access Guides: Making music more accessible

A view of the landscape over Glastonbury during the festival with people stood looking forwards.
Developed by UK live music accessibility charity Attitude is Everything, this series of guides is designed to help venues, promoters, bands, festivals and artists make events more accessible.

Inside you'll find advice on everything you need to make your event accessible to the widest possible audience – from tips on how to improve the experience for disabled gig-goers at an inaccessible venue, to advice on how to promote your event accessibly both on and offline.

With our support, the guides have been translated into multiple languages, which you can download at the bottom of this page.

'This guide has all the vital information needed to engage with disabled audiences and artists, making it a must read for all bands and promoters'
