Accessibility is a cornerstone of the Edgbaston Park Hotel's commitment to inclusivity. The main hotel features level access through automatic sliding doors, and a lift provides seamless movement between floors, ensuring that all bedrooms and conference venues are easily reachable.
For guests requiring adapted accommodations, accessible ground-floor rooms are available, equipped with walk-in showers and emergency cords. Additionally, accessible toilets are conveniently located throughout the hotel's communal areas.
During the event, attendees can enjoy a delicious lunch at the 1900 Restaurant, an elegant yet welcoming dining space that prides itself on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

Alternatively, there will be a buffet lunch provided for all guests as part of the event.
The talks will be hosted in a spacious, wheelchair accessible, air conditioned room. This makes it an ideal venue for events focused on health, well-being, and independence for individuals with multiple sclerosis.
