ONCA strives to be an accessible and inclusive organisation where everybody is welcome, regardless of age, ability, gender or background.
Accessibility & Inclusion at ONCA
At ONCA, we try to cater for everybody’s access and participation needs by:
- Hosting events tailored to the needs of participants of a wide range of ages and abilities
- Encouraging and working with exhibiting artists and partners to make their projects as inclusive and accessible as possible
- Encouraging practitioners to offer concessions tickets for unemployed, low-waged, senior members and marginalised groups
- Producing and sharing free and accessible media and learning resources
We ask that all hirers of the venue adhere to ONCA’s policies and guidance on accessibility, diversity and inclusion. For more information, please read our Diversity & Inclusion Policy below.

General access information
BSL Access
Some events at ONCA are BSL interpreted and BSL users can request that an event be interpreted. This should be done via email a month in advance. We also periodically run British Sign Language (BSL) Courses with teachers Louise Gibson & Kwame Afrik.
Personal Assistance
Free tickets are always available for Personal Assistants – please let us know in advance if possible if you need a PA ticket. Assistance dogs on leads are welcome.
Transcripts
We also aim to record and transcribe as many of our programmed events as possible. These recordings can be found on our News & Resources page.
Concession Tickets
When we are able to, we offer concessions tickets for unemployed, low-waged, senior members and marginalised groups.
