Non-accessible Content 

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of this website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for this website:

Keyboard/Screen reader navigation is not
yet accessible on parts of the website. 

Images – we are currently working
through images to add contextual alternative text.

Forms – we are currently working
through forms to add accessible error validation and focus.

Link Text – we are working to remove
links named ‘click here’ and ‘find out more’ where possible, links will be
given clear labels.

Correctly structured content with good heading usage – we are creating logical heading structures on our pages.

Cross operating system compatibility – has not
yet been implemented in every section. We are currently updating CSS for desktop and mobile. 

Mobile navigation – along with cross operating system compatibility, once CSS has been updated, we will audit for mobile navigation and ease of use for screen readers.

Third-party content – there are areas of our website controlled by third-party companies, such as the event submission form. These are not funded by, developed, or controlled by Donnybrook Fair, but work is in progress to resolve as many issues related to these areas as feasibly possible.

measure against WCAG 2.2 standards. These issues were presented to the
development team who are amending these issues and bringing the website in to WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
