Hi Anthea
Unfortunately I have not been to the place you mention, but can quite well
imagine the situation. Many venues do not have decent access to the stage
area except through a complicated back stage obstacle course. It was nice at
last year's Inclusion by Design conference in Montreal to be treated to such
levels of inclusion - ramped and steps to stage in all rooms, language
translation services and signing in ASL and FSL.
Disability Wales (or at least I think it was under their auspices) produced
a great guide to organising accessible conferences and is helpful to give to
administrators who may be unfamiliar with the concepts.
cheers
