Accessibility & Inclusivity

If you have access needs and are not sure whether Amanita Studio will be accessible for you, please feel free to contact us via email on info@amanitastudio.co.uk. We can make arrangements/adjustments where possible to meet your needs, and can organise to meet you in the space to try it out before booking to play.

Mobility & Wheelchair Access:

The entrance to the space is not currently wheelchair accessible, but will be soon. We are currently waiting on the final works to be completed which will ensure this. We will publicise on our social media when it is. Currently the barriers are the limitations of the shutter door width at the entrance and an internal step. We will be soon be replacing the shutter and integrated door with a brick frontage and wheelchair accessible door. We will be replacing the step with a ramp, in order to be fully accessible. The ramp will be steeper than access guidelines due to limited space, so is likely to require assistance for wheelchair users.

Amanita Studio is on the ground floor and is flat inside, there is a small threshold between the Playspace and the Chillout space. Most of the furniture is moveable if needed. The shower and toilet are regrettably not wheelchair user friendly due to space limitations, however with assistance it may be possible. A prior visit is advised.

Sensory Access Needs:

Lighting: We use a Philips Wiz lighting system controlled by the app on an Ipad which is mounted on the wall at approx 130cm from the floor. All standing and table lamps are programmable to exist across the colour spectrum. There are also dimmable downlights which are warm white in colour, should no coloured lighting be required.

Heating: Amanita Studio has a central heating system controlled by a Nest thermostat digital dial, mounted on the wall. The space will be heated to approx 21 celsius for your arrival. If you need it significantly warmer then let us know in advance and we will make sure it is preheated with enough time to reach the required temperature. If you need to adjust it slightly when you are in there then please use the dial.

Acoustics: The studio is soundproofed and you are unlikely to hear any sound from outside. We still ask clients to keep sound down when playing in the space, as loud noises may be audible by the neighbours. We have wall mounted Bluetooth speakers which will be already turned on, and can be easily linked to your own device from your Bluetooth menu.

Sensory Equipment: The studio has a range of sensory equipment for many styles of play, please see the Equipment List for more details of what you will find here. We cannot guarantee to have exactly what you need, so feel free to bring your own small equipment also, and feel free to contact us to see if we can supply something.

Sight:

The space is clearly labelled in terms of the function of switches and the position of equipment and kitchenware. The labels are gold with white text, so may not be easily readable by a partially sighted person, or a colour blind person when the lighting is set to intense colours.

Location:

The studio is in a multicultural residential area, away from the main road. There are buses from Walthamstow Central station which take you to a bus stop approx 5 minutes walk from the venue. Walthamstow Central station does not have step-free access from the Victoria line, but does from the Overground. For clients coming via the Victoria line we advise to get off at Tottenham Hale and take the bus. Please check your accessible travel route before coming to make sure.

Inclusivity & Representation

Toys: We have a range of realistic and non-realistic toys and will be adding more to our collection as time goes on. Our dildos are in a range of sizes, skin colours, colours, shapes and materials.

Atmosphere: We have chosen a range of artwork which represents and reflects many different bodies in terms of size, gender, skin colour and kink preferences. We hope you will feel comfortable and represented here especially if you are from a marginalised community. Please feel free to suggest anything that will make the space feel more at home for you.
