Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 5 March 2026
George Walker Event Management Ltd is committed to ensuring that our website and events are accessible and inclusive for all guests.
We aim to make our services as accessible as reasonably possible so that everyone can participate in and enjoy our events. We recognise that accessibility needs vary from person to person, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments wherever possible to support our guests.
This statement outlines our approach to accessibility for both our website and events.
1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
George Walker Event Management Ltd believes that events should be welcoming and accessible to everyone.
We aim to:
-
provide clear and accessible information about our events
-
ensure our website can be used by as many people as possible
-
work with venues to support accessible attendance
-
make reasonable adjustments for guests where possible
-
encourage guests to contact us in advance if they require assistance
We continuously review accessibility considerations as part of our event planning and website development.
2. Website Accessibility
We aim to ensure our website is accessible to as many users as possible, including those using assistive technologies.
Where possible, we aim to follow recognised accessibility principles based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
This includes making reasonable efforts to ensure that our website:
-
uses clear and readable text
-
provides logical page structure and headings
-
can be navigated using a keyboard
-
allows text resizing and zoom functionality
-
supports screen readers and assistive technologies
-
avoids unnecessary visual barriers
Our website is built using the Wix platform, which provides accessibility features designed to support accessible web design.
However, some elements of the website may rely on third-party systems or embedded services (such as ticket purchasing systems or payment providers) which are outside of our direct control.
If you encounter difficulty using the website, we encourage you to contact us and we will do our best to assist you.
3. Event Accessibility
George Walker Event Management Ltd works with venues to ensure events are accessible wherever reasonably possible.
For the Royal Marines Charity Ball, accessibility considerations include:
-
step-free access to the event space
-
accessible parking for disabled guests
-
accessible routes within the venue
-
accessible restroom facilities where available at the venue
Our event team will be present throughout the evening and available to assist guests where required.
4. Accessible Parking
Accessible parking will be available for guests who require it.
As parking arrangements may vary depending on the venue layout and event logistics, guests who require disabled or accessible parking are encouraged to contact the organiser in advance so that arrangements can be made where possible.
5. Step-Free Access
The event space provides step-free access, allowing guests with mobility requirements to access the venue.
If you have specific mobility requirements or require assistance entering or moving within the venue, please contact us in advance so we can ensure appropriate arrangements are considered.
6. Assistance and Accessibility Requests
We recognise that some guests may require additional assistance to attend the event comfortably.
Guests are encouraged to contact the organiser in advance of the event if they require support relating to:
-
wheelchair or mobility access
-
accessible seating arrangements
-
assistance on arrival
-
accessible parking
-
visual or hearing support requirements
-
other accessibility considerations
While we cannot guarantee that every request can be accommodated, we will always make reasonable efforts to assist wherever possible.
Early communication helps us ensure the best possible arrangements can be made.
7. Assistance During the Event
Members of the event team will be present throughout the evening and available to assist guests if required.
If you require assistance at any point during the event, please speak to a member of the event team and we will do our best to help.
8. Feedback and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to improving accessibility wherever possible.
If you experience accessibility barriers while using our website or attending one of our events, we welcome your feedback so that we can review and improve future services.
