Technical information about this websites accessibility

Bradford Theatres is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No.2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard due to the non-compliances listed below:

Issues with videos

As videos are provided by third parties, it is not always possible for us to provide captions or subtitles for videos with audio.

Issues with images

The volume of events we hold at our venues means it is not practical to retrospectively add image alt tags to images on historic event pages. Our process now includes always adding alt tags to images when new event images are added to the website.

How we tested this website

This website was last tested in September 2023. The test was carried out by Numiko on behalf of Bradford Theatres. The pages tested include:

  • Homepage (www.bradford-theatres.co.uk)
  • Event pages (For example, www.bradford-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/life-of-pi)
  • Content pages (For example, www.bradford-theatres.co.uk/our-story)

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We will carry out regular testing and make improvements as needed.
