Fair Access Policy

The Mulberry Group Ltd operates a “Fair Access” policy for disabled people attending its events.
Disabled people attending are asked to assist us to ensure this policy works both for them and ourselves. In this respect:

1 – Those wishing to benefit from our Fair Access policy and their carers should offer evidence of their disability/carers status at the point of entry to the venue. Staff are instructed to handle this discreetly and sensitively, but you will appreciate that not all disabilities are readily apparent and neither is it always obvious that a particular disability brings with it a need for a carer to accompany a disabled person because of their disability.

2 – The easiest way to establish a disability is to produce a ‘blue badge’ or other registered means of identification. Where tickets are booked on line or over the telephone, then at the time of booking a disabled person should record the means of evidence that will be produced at the entry to the venue and then remember to show it at that point.

3 – If it is obvious to staff at the venue entrance that a particular disabled person cannot reasonably have access to and around an event unless accompanied by a carer then one carer will be admitted free of charge. Please be mindful that staff are not in a position to form medical judgements and so anyone who is disabled and wished to avoid confusion or embarrassment at the gate may prefer to bring with her/him some evidence not only of the disability but also as to the status of their carer as being officially recognised in that role.

4 – If not withstanding the above, you feel that you have not been allowed Fair Access to an event at the Showground then please send a written note to us within 7 days if the event quoting:

4.1 – Your name and address and that of any carer

4.2 – The gate that you entered through

4.3 – The evidence of disability/carers status offered

4.4 – The action taken

4.5 – Why you do not think Fair Access was allowed

Such claims should be sent to The Mulberry Group, Mulberry Farmhouse, Launton Road, Stratton Audley, Oxfordshire, OX7 9AS. We will treat such claims sympathetically but do need your help along the way.

DOGS

Dogs are permitted on the showground but must be kept on a lead and cleaned up after.

CASH MACHINES

There is NO cash machine on site. Kelso is only a 5 minute walk from the showground and there are a selection of banks with cash machines in the town centre.
