Accessibility Statement
This statement applies to www.royalecasinohire.co.uk, the website of Royale Events Ltd.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this site. We’ve built it to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA: the standard the UK government uses for public-sector websites, and a reasonable benchmark under the Equality Act 2010.
Last reviewed: 5 June 2026.
What we’ve done
The site has been designed with the following in mind:
- Keyboard navigation: every interactive element (links, buttons, form fields, menus) is reachable and operable using only the keyboard. A visible focus indicator shows your current position.
- Skip link: at the top of every page, a “Skip to main content” link lets keyboard and screen-reader users bypass the navigation.
- Headings: every page has a single, descriptive H1, with sequential H2/H3 sub-headings underneath.
- Form labels: every form field has a visible label (not a placeholder-only). Errors are announced via
role="alert"and corrections are suggested. - Colour contrast: text contrast meets or exceeds the AA threshold (4.5:1 for body, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
- Reflow: content reflows to a single column at 320px width without horizontal scrolling.
- Reduced motion: if you’ve set “reduce motion” in your operating system, decorative animations and scroll-reveals are disabled.
- Language: the page language is declared as English in the HTML.
- Alternative text: images that carry meaning have descriptive alt text; purely decorative images are marked as decorative.
- No CAPTCHAs: the enquiry form is bot-protected without a visual or audio CAPTCHA.
Browsers and assistive technology
The site has been built and tested to work with:
- Recent versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on desktop and mobile
- VoiceOver on macOS and iOS
- TalkBack on Android
- NVDA and JAWS on Windows (best-effort, we don’t test every release, but rely on standard semantic HTML so most things work as expected)
If you spot something that doesn’t work in your setup, we’d very much like to hear about it (see “Reporting an issue” below).
Known limitations
The site is mostly straightforward, but a few items we’re tracking:
- Photo gallery is live with 12 selected photographs. Each tile has a descriptive caption that doubles as alt text. The lightbox is keyboard-operable: it traps focus while open, Tab cycles through the previous/next/close buttons, Escape closes, the left and right arrow keys navigate between images, and focus returns to the triggering thumbnail on close.
- Nav dropdowns are presented as link lists (not as ARIA application menus) so they work consistently across screen readers without entering application mode. Tab order is sequential; Escape closes any open dropdown.
- Mobile menu Escape key returns focus to the hamburger toggle.
- Decorative SVG icons (the crown logo, chevrons) are marked
aria-hidden="true", they don’t carry meaning beyond what the surrounding text already provides. - We do not currently provide a high-contrast or dark mode toggle; this may follow.

How this statement was prepared
This statement was prepared on 5 June 2026, following an internal review against WCAG 2.2 AA. The site was last tested manually for keyboard operation, screen-reader navigation and reflow behaviour on the same date.
