Accessible Event Seating Checklist
Review guest access, comfort and service routes with the venue before confirming an event seating arrangement.
Ask about the actual need
Ask guests privately what would make attendance easier rather than inferring needs from age or appearance. Discuss mobility space, hearing, visibility, nearby facilities and companion seating with the guest and venue.
Check the physical venue
A drawn layout does not certify accessibility. Confirm step-free routes, usable doors, toilets, chair removal and emergency procedures with the venue. Use the venue’s applicable standards and professional advice for required clearances.
Worked example · illustrative details
A guest using a wheelchair
Agree a practical table position with the guest, keep a companion nearby and confirm the approach route with the venue. Check that chair removal and table height work on site before treating the digital plan as final.
