Accessibility

We build towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We are not claiming we meet every one of those criteria today, because we would rather tell you the truth and fix what is outstanding.

What is in place: the site can be navigated by keyboard alone, headings and landmarks are marked up properly for screen readers, images carry text descriptions, and every animation on the page stops automatically if your device is set to reduce motion.

There is a Display settings button in the bottom corner of every page. It lets you enlarge the text, switch to a plainer typeface, increase the spacing, raise the contrast, underline every link, and turn all movement off. Your choices are remembered on your device.

These are real controls built into the site. We do not use an accessibility overlay, because overlays interfere with the screen readers and other tools people already rely on.

This site uses a deliberately dark, candlelit design. Some of the smaller decorative text sits at a lower contrast than we would like against that background. The higher contrast option in Display settings corrects it, and we are working on the underlying design so the option is not needed.

The venue is a historic building, and we want you to know exactly what to expect before you buy a ticket rather than after. If you have questions about step-free access, seating, restrooms, service animals, or anything else about getting around on the night, email us and we will give you a straight answer.

If something on this site or at the event does not work for you, we want to hear about it. Email us at the address below and tell us what happened. We read every one of these and we will reply.
