Help Make Northumberland a More Inclusive and Accessible Place to Visit

Following Purple Tuesday, demonstrate your commitment to being a more inclusive and accessible place to visit by accessing a heavily discounted accessibility assessment and guide for visitors from AccessAble.

We have ambitions in the North East to become one of Europe's most accessible, inclusive and welcoming destinations. 

Government wants the UK’s tourism offer to be considered the most accessible of any in the world and to maximise the value of the ‘purple pound’, which is the spending power of people with access needs.

There are 1.8 billion disabled people in the world, representing 17% of the population and our region is committed to ensuring that visitors with access needs receive the warmest possible welcome.

We are a region that is renowned for our warm welcome and we must ensure we create equitable experiences for all our visitors.

Through VisitEngland and AccessAble, you can help us on that journey and access heavily discounted guided accessibility assessments from just £1 + VAT!

These assessments help you to understand how your businesses shapes up for the millions of travellers who visit the region with access requirements, making sure we provide the best possible welcome for everybody.
