Practise asking about access at a venue.

The idea

Name the feature you need and ask Is there…? or Could you provide…?.

Examples

  • Is there a step-free entrance to the museum?
  • Is the lift wide enough for a wheelchair?
  • Can I bring my assistance dog into the café?
  • Are captions available for the tour video?
  • Where is the accessible toilet on this floor?
  • Could you provide the information in large print?

Watch out

Do not assume that accessible describes every feature; ask about the particular route or service.
