🚶 Moving Around Inside

• Corridors & Space: The party is being held entirely on the ground level. The Royal Armouries has very wide, spacious, and flat walkways with plenty of room to navigate large specialized wheelchairs, power chairs, and double pushchairs easily.
• Lifts & Levels: Our event area is completely step-free and on a single level, so you won’t need to use any lifts to access the party.

🚽 Toilets & Changing Facilities

• Standard Accessible Toilet: There are fully accessible toilets located on the ground floor close to our party room.
• Changing Places Toilet: Excellent news! The Royal Armouries now features a fully certified, permanent Changing Places toilet equipped with a tracking hoist, adult-sized changing bench, and central toilet. This is located on the ground floor, very close to where our party is being held.
• Family & All-Gender Toilets: Accessible facilities are available to ensure parents can easily support children of any gender.
• Baby Changing: Dedicated baby changing facilities are available on the ground floor.

🎧 Sensory & Calm Spaces

• Lighting & Sound: Because this is a K-POP party with 200 guests, live singing, and entertainment, it will be loud, energetic, and bright! There may be party lighting and amplified music.
• Little Hiccups Quiet Area: If the excitement gets a bit too much and your child needs a break from the noise, you can head back to the registration room where you first entered. We will have sensory toys, colouring, and games set up here for anyone wanting a quieter space. Noise-cancelling headphones are also available. We will have a small blackout tent on hand, which can be taken out upon request—please just ask a member of the Hiccups team!
