ACCESSIBILITY: The Fox and Firkin is a step-free venue but does have one step and some uneven surfaces in the beer garden. Both the bar and toilets are also on the ground floor. Toilets are designated gender neutral for this event.
The venue is soft low lighting indoors with lots of seating. It can get be loud indoors with many people talking and background music on in the pub (we try to ask them to keep it turned down with varying degrees of success.). We usually have a short grounding speech or occasionally performances on the indoor stage indoors which utilize a sound system (lasting 10 -20 minutes). If the level of sensory stimulation becomes overwhelming indoors as a result, it is possible to relocate to the quieter garden area to during this time.
The outdoor garden area has lots of room and can be quieter with less sensory stimulation than indoors. There's lots of covered areas for seating outdoors; however it is also colder in this area even with recent installation of space heaters in some areas. Consider bringing layers or small blanket to comfortably use this space in colder months.
If you have any accessibility needs please don't hesitate to get in touch to let us know what we can do to support you on the evening
ALCOHOL: this is a sober-friendly event. Although it is being held at a pub, the Fox and Firkin have several alcohol-free drinks available. We encourage everyone to come, whether they drink alcohol or not.
FOOD: Please see the venue's website for more information.
