Accessibility

Faversham House is a founding partner for the Ramp It Up! Campaign. It is a not-for-profit campaign to encourage venues and AV production companies to provide hand rail ramp access for free and as standard at all conferences and awards ceremonies in the UK and Ireland.

We've recognised that increasing amounts of people with limited mobility are attending our events, either with severe movement impairment or with restricted movement, due to conditions such as arthritis. It shouldn't be up to the individuals concerned to notify venues, or up to those who wish to hold events to bear (sometimes significant) additional cost for providing easy and simple access to stages but should always be provided and free of charge at all events. For more information, please visit: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ramp-it-up-campaign/

The venue hosting the awards is fully accessible, the drinks reception will take place on the ground floor level, and the ceremony will be on the second floor. Please see the tabs below for more specific information, if you cannot find what you are looking for or for more information please contact: mirandaevans@fav-house.com

We welcome earlier arrival at the awards, should you feel you need to familiarise yourself in the event space. Should you wish to do so, please contact: mirandaevans@fav-house.com
