Accessibility statement

We build hampshire.events to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at level AA. This is what the site does for that, what does not meet it yet, and how to tell us.

The standard we aim for

WCAG 2.2AA

Last tested: not yet tested by anyone outside Hampshire Events.

What the site does

What every page is designed to do, in a sentence each.

Keyboard and touch: Links, buttons and filters are real links and buttons, so they work from a keyboard. Every target is at least 44 pixels.
Screen readers: One main heading a page and the rest in order. Photographs are described by the place they show; decorative shapes are hidden.
Zoom and small screens: Every page is designed to fit a phone without sideways scrolling, so it reflows when you zoom in.
Less motion: If your device asks for less motion, the films stay still with a play button and nothing slides.
Colour and contrast: Words are set to pass AA contrast on every colour we use. Colour is never the only signal: the time of day is written too, and how full an event is is said in words.

Known gaps

What does not meet the standard yet, or is outside our hands. We will look at each with the first independent test.

Not yet tested by anyone outside: Until an independent test, this page gives no test date. When there is one, the date and what it found go here.
Maps tell a screen reader little: Every event and venue on a map is also in the list beside it, but the map itself is a picture.
Posters are pictures of words: The same words are always in the listing next to the poster.
Some booking is on the organiser’s site: We do not control those pages. Tell us if one is hard to use and we will pass it on.
Venue access comes from venues: Step-free and parking facts are checked against the venue’s and organiser’s pages, not in person.

Say which page, what you were trying to do and what stopped you. A screenshot helps if you can take one.

Need an event’s details another way? Ask, and we will send them to you as plain text by email.
