To deliver the most accurate results, users are encouraged to 'filter' their searches by choosing from a list of facilities and a list of venue uses (i.e. if they require a venue with car parking and a kitchen, they would check the appropriate boxes in the search form.). Therefore, it is vital that, as part of the 'listing' process, venue managers include as many facilities from the drop-down as are applicable to their venue.

At the heart of the WCA website is a database and powerful search engine. The key to matching your requirements to one of the many venues listed on the site is to use the 'facilities' and 'venue uses' filters to customise your search. For example, if the venue you require needs car parking spaces, close proximity to a bus route, and access to an overhead projector, you could use the Facilities filter to show only those listings which match your requirements.
Please be aware that search results will be dependent on the number and type of filter(s) selected. If no venue(s) appear(s) on your search result it does not mean that we definitely do not have a suitable venue registered on the site. You may have to adjust your search criteria by reducing or changing your filter selections to optimize the search results.

At the moment, to book a venue you will need to contact them directly using the contact details on the listing page. In the future, we may integrate an online booking system that will allow users to book via the web site.

All venue descriptions will include information about disabled access. If you are in any doubt you can contact the venue manager directly. Contact details are provided on the venue listings detail page. Other information will include the floor level of the venue. It is important to use the 'disabled' filter in the venue search to show venues that provide suitable access for wheelchairs.
