Ongoing Efforts

We are continuously working to enhance the accessibility of our website by:

Monitoring for potential accessibility issues and promptly addressing them.

Keeping up to date with evolving accessibility standards and guidelines, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

Third-Party Content

Our website may include links to third-party websites, which we cannot control. We encourage you to review the accessibility policies of those websites if you experience any issues.

Accessibility arrangements in the organisation 

Both of our locations in Sherborne, 33 Cheap Street and 30 Cheap Street, are situated in historic listed buildings on the town's main shopping street. Due to the nature of these buildings, there are some physical accessibility limitations:

  • At 33 Cheap Street, there is a single step up to the gifts showroom. The women’s wear showroom is located on the first floor and is accessible via a staircase with 15 steps.

  • At 30 Cheap Street, there are two stone steps leading to the main entrance, followed by a staircase with 24 steps to the men’s showroom and an additional 12 steps to the sale room on the top floor.

We recognize these limitations and are happy to assist customers wherever possible. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require assistance during your visit.
