Read the law tracker →Why trust this list?
- Every place links its source: the venue's own site, a council page or a named guide.
- “Venue says so” only when the venue itself states the policy. Everything else is labelled “Reported by guides”.
- Dated. Each card shows when we checked. We aim to re-check every place within 120 days.
- Not paid for by venues. Any partner links are labelled, with the commission disclosed.
- We don't guess. If nobody says, it's “Not stated”. If sources clash, it's “Sources disagree”.
