Accessibility

We strive to make MBGF as accessible as possible for all attendees. Sachas Hotel offers step-free access via a stair lift in the main lobby, and lifts to all floors, including access to accessible toilets on the 1st floor.

Please note that two small sections of the open gaming areas in the lower levels do have steps; however, no scheduled activities will take place in these spaces to ensure that all key events remain accessible.

If you have any specific accessibility needs or require assistance during the event, please let us know in advance or speak to a member of our team at the Welcome Desk. We are happy to help!
