The Festival of Lights is a popular event, open to all. Everyone should be able to enjoy the party, which means they must be able to access all areas. No limits, no barriers – visible or invisible – and no physical or mental obstacles. We have taken positive steps to ensure that people with disabilities can take part.
Read on for more detail on the services we have set up to give you a proper welcome.
