Accessibility

We're here for you


We understand the importance of creating an inclusive environment that caters to the diverse needs of our students, including those with disabilities. That's why, having been working closely with Attitude is Everything since November 2015, we have been accredited Bronze on the Live Events Access Charter showing our commitment to improving Summer Ball event access for deaf and disabled individuals.


What do I do if I require support?


All tickets are provided as general admission so you just need to purchase a ticket' through this site. Once you 've booked a ticket we'd ask that you register with our Event Management Office' by Friday 17 May 2024.

Please note that we do not sell accessible viewing area tickets, just general admission. If the event is sold out we cannot sell extra tickets.

Our Events Management Office will reach out to you with more information about your request on Monday 20 May 2024 so keep an eye out.

We're committed to making the event as accessible as possible and ask that anyone requiring a complimentary personal assistant ticket, support at entry, access to larger toilet facilities, access to low counter bar service and/or access to our main stage viewing platform registers with our Event Management Office by Friday 17 May 2024. We've put together some helpful information below to help you understand the support we can offer.

If you have any further enquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated team at disabledaccess@su.rhul.ac.uk.

Complimentary Personal Assistant Ticketing Scheme


People with accessibility requirements may need to have someone to assist them during the event. We are offering a two-for-one ticket policy for personal assistants for the Summer Ball upon request via email. Aside from this scheme, we do not offer any reduced rate tickets (except our launch day offers) and the service we offer is of equal quality to all our customers.

Event parking


There are dedicated disabled parking spaces across campus. To access the nearest bays to the Ball you need to enter the main gate and take the first right at the roundabout. We can reserve a bay if you pre-book via email' before Friday 17 May.


Inside the event


We want Summer Ball to be a fun and inclusive event that everyone can enjoy. To ensure this, we make every effort to make the site accessible to all our students. While there are some stone tracks and walkways available, it's important to note that there is also a lot of grass on the site, which may cause difficulties during inclement weather.

We understand that it's important to prepare for all conditions, and we kindly request that you do the same. When planning for the Ball, please take into consideration the ground conditions and check the weather forecast in advance. This will help you decide what facilities you may need and what equipment you should bring with you to ensure your comfort and enjoyment throughout the event.
