Having access to clear, detailed information is essential when it comes to planning a visit to a major event like the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026.

With matches taking place across stadiums in England, we’re proud to share our Detailed Access Guides to all tournament venues, helping people better understand what to expect before they arrive.

From step-free routes and seating to parking, toilets and facilities, the Guides are designed to make the planning phase easier, and enable you to prepare for matchday with confidence.

Hear from our ambassadors Life Of Pippa and Blind Girl Adventures as they share some of the things that work for their access needs…and some that don’t.

“Fully accessible” can sound reassuring but when we stop to ask “fully accessible for who?’, we start to realise it isn’t that simple.

What works for one person may not work for another, and even the same person’s access needs can change from one day to the next.

That’s why broad phrases can’t tell the whole story.

The more we understand that accessibility looks different for everyone, the easier it is for people to make informed choices and visit places with confidence.

It then cuts to Pippa at the entrance of a supermarket in a mobility aid with a dog on her lap. Sassy is then stood at a delivery collection kiosk with a screen, she is holding a walking aid. Pippa is then on a grocery isle using a scan and shop device. The video then features text on screen which reads ‘Accessibility means different things to different people. It is not a feature or a tick box. What works for one person may not work for another. Everyone’s needs are unique. AccessAble’

Surveying team in action!

At AccessAble, we’re excited to be launching a collection of new Detailed Access Guides in partnership with Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General Hospitals

We’re currently surveying Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital, so we thought we’d take you behind the scenes and show you what goes into creating our Detailed Access Guides.

Our Guides capture every stage of a patient’s journey, from arriving on site and parking, to navigating entrances, lifts, stairs, wards and toilets.

Our surveyors record a wide range of accessibility information, including turning spaces, hearing loops and ramp gradients, alongside photography and 360-degree imagery of facilities such as Changing Places toilets.

This process ensures the accessibility information we collect is credible, quality assured and based on a consistent methodology we’ve developed over the last 25 years, helping people access the information that matters most to them.

Stay tuned for more tales from the tape measure as we continue sharing the work behind our Guides! 📏👀

“Caring for my dad shaped who I am. It made me notice what others miss, and it gave me a determination to push for a more accessible, equitable world.”

This Carers Week, Anna, our Chief Executive, has shared a personal reflection on her experience as a young carer, looking after her dad.

A lot of young carers are still balancing significant responsibilities in everyday life, without the support or recognition they deserve.

Accessibility isn’t a fixed standard or single feature that can be ticked off or completed. It means different things to different people.

With real world insights from AccessAble ambassadors Sassy Wyatt and Life Of Pippa, we explore why “fully accessible” can be misleading and why it’s unhelpful to think in one-size-fits-all assumptions.

A space that works well for one person may still create barriers for another.

The blog highlights how access is shaped by much more than facilities alone. It’s about the information that allows people to decide whether a place genuinely works for them.

Information is so powerful, especially when it’s accurate and up to date.

Having reliable access information helps open up places and experiences for everyone, giving people the confidence to explore more independently.

That’s why we do what we do, because having the right information can make a big difference.

Finding a restaurant that suits everyone’s needs can sometimes be challenging, especially when different people in your group have different access needs.

explains how she plans her meals out, and what she looks for when she’s searching for somewhere to eat.

Our Detailed Access Guides can help take away some of the unknowns when planning a meal out, from knowing what a venue will look like in advance, to information on seating, noise levels, and more.

With just 1 month to go until Wimbledon 2026, it’s a timely reminder that we’ve created Detailed Access Guides for all key venues used during the Championships, as well as a wide range of places and spaces in the surrounding area.

These Guides, available on our website, provide a wealth of accurate, practical information to help people plan their visit in advance and make informed choices about their time at Wimbledon.

Each part of the grounds has been surveyed in detail by our trained surveyors and cover everything from step-free access routes and seating areas to accessible toilets, parking, drop-off points, signage, lighting, and more.

We pride ourselves on the level of detail we include in these Guides, with hundreds of data points recorded for each location. This gives a clear and reliable picture of what to expect on arrival, based on measurements and in-person observations, rather than assumptions.

Outside the Championships, our surveyors have also collected a range of details on facilities including the museum, library and learning centre so if you’re planning to visit at other times of the year, you can find all you need to know through our Guides.

By bringing together information on both the Championships venues and nearby places to visit and explore, we’re hoping to support people in planning their full day out at Wimbledon with confidence and create a complete view of this impressive space for tennis.
