DINA Accessibility policy
​
The information below is to offer guidance for promoters and users in relation to access use and access requirements at DINA.
Our new venue space is located in a Grade II listed building facing Fitzalan Square in the centre of Sheffield. We are a 5 minute walk from the train station, bus station, tram stops, and bus stops. If cycling, there are numerous places to lock up your bike on the square.
For space users:
-
Wheel chair access to ground floor cafe and bar, unfortunately we don't have wheel chair access to the basement or upper gallery.
-
Breastfeeding friendly space.
-
Family friendly space.
-
Assistance dogs are allowed at all times. If there are guests who are dog phobic we will do our best to accommodate your needs.​
-
For ticketed events paying guests who require a PA are eligible to a free additional ticket for them. Contact us if you need this and we will make sure the promoter sorts it.
-
No strobe lights or smoke machines are used.
-
Accessible toilet on ground floor.
-
Baby changing area.
​
For promoters:
​
-
If your event has an entrance fee, you must provide a free ticket for the PA of a paying guest with access needs if required.
-
If your event has a performance aspect, ensure there is a seating viewing area available for those who cannot stand for long periods. We can provide you with seating but you must do the layout.
-
No strobe lights or smoke machines can be used.
-
On promotional material & your ticket booking site please state the accessibility of the space you are using (the Diner & Spoon Factory are wheelchair accessible, The Cellar is not).
-
When creating promotional material keep in mind that large fonts, text that contrasts with the background, not having images behind text, and sans serif fonts will make it more accessible to read.
-
Noise volume must be kept to acceptable levels if in any doubt what these are please consult with the venue manager.
​
please contact us if you have any comments or additional thoughts on our current policy as we'd love to hear from you.
