The organisers describe this show in the following way.

The Wool Monty is a different kind of yarn show:

ACCESSIBLE. INCLUSIVE. WELCOMING.

We’re passionate about hosting a yarn show with a difference, that everyone can attend and enjoy. We cannot wait to see you there!

OUR ACCESSIBILITY COMMITMENT

• fully accessible venue with step-free access and all activities on one level
• 300+ free parking spaces with blue badge parking near the entrance and space for coaches and vans
• space for mobility scooters and powered chairs
• 3.5m (11.5ft) wide aisles as a minimum
• assistance dogs welcome
• quiet room away from the main show area with dim lights and comfy seating
• Carer tickets available
• high ceilings to diffuse noise
• several accessible toilets, including a Changing Places bathroom
• different types of seating and lots of it
• hot and cold food options which cater to all diets and preferences

OUR INCLUSIVITY COMMITMENT

We’re committed to making the show as representative of the crafting community as possible. In practical terms this means:

• supporting and encouraging vendors and workshop tutors from marginalised groups
• making sure that BIPOC and LGBTQ+ members of our community in particular feel welcome and safe, by making it clear that no discrimination, however covert, will be tolerated. Vendors and workshop tutors will need to accept our no-discrimination policy before the show and it will be made clear on our social media channels and in signs at the venue for visitors. Anyone who can’t respect that will be unwelcome in any part of the show.
• if you have any concerns about this, or would like to suggest ways we can improve our inclusivity further please get in touch.
