A Family Friendly venue or event is not just
centred on physical access to and around a building; it is about
access in a wider sense, looking at the best way to provide for
family visits, give information and enable families to enjoy a sense
of belonging.
Many Hampshire and regional arts organisations are striving to
become Family Friendly, with a regionally-agreed aim to offer equivalent
experiences for at least one adult and one child. This means anything
from providing the right kind of menus and easy access for pushchairs
to making sure there are activity sheets for different age groups.
Hampshire County Council’s ‘Discover
Hampshire’ web pages detail countryside and sporting activities
in the county for you to explore. Look out for events marked with
the Family Friendly logo in arts organisations’ brochures
and in HCC Recreation and Heritage publications such as Showcase.
These will be trying to provide a truly Family Friendly experience.
