Ayclive: Accessibility Denied ♿:


Shame it wasn’t extended to some disabled attendees 💔.

Asking for positive reviews won’t undo the damage — it’s on film.

After my bad experience, I even created an accessibility checklist to help your future events, but instead of engaging, you blocked my Facebook page.

I’ve been involved in #Ayclive for the last three years, sharing and promoting it — and the thanks I got was abuse, with a manager openly proud of that abuse. All caught on film.

My mistake for thinking you genuinely cared about #Aycliffe 🫶🏻

I bet this other Facebook account will be blocked again, just to silence me. How dare I try to safeguard my community.

Do organisations no longer care about fixing bad experiences? Is silencing and blocking those they’ve mistreated now the new “customer service” standard?

A screenshot from a social media post by "Ayclive Festival." The post announces the winner of a competition for a 2026 Family Ticket (for 2 adults and 3 kids) awarded to Emma B. It praises Emma’s review of Ayclive, highlighting how it captures the spirit of the festival bringing smiles to the community. The post thanks everyone who left reviews and encourages followers to watch out for future competitions. The text includes emojis such as a party popper, purple heart, music notes, sparkles, and eyes.

Below the announcement is a partial view of Emma B’s winning review with a five-star rating. The review expresses enthusiasm about Ayclive, mentioning their group of 20 adults and 10 kids enjoyed the music variety from northern soul, 90s, indies, and more, and praises the well-staffed bar and toilets. The image background is light blue with white text headings.


The visible phone UI shows the time as 14:51, battery at 68%, and a comment box addressed to Sarah Wingfield.


It should be noted:

These reviews were requested after I shared my experiences and was blocked, they also charged us £19 and I found out after the event - when refunded due to the mistreatment - that it should have only cost us £5.

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Went to butterfly world left Bud in the car for forty minutes and it's cool in the car and the windows are all open. Dog is absolutely fine but the way India who works there spoke to us laughing at us and slagging us off triggered my autism in public. Just had an autistic meltdown cause people are accusing us of animal cruelty and overstepping unprofessionally and abusively so we've left. Total humiliation and false allegations man. There's a way to talk to people so we've left and gone home. She was openly telling other people that we are abusive and they were all laughing at me but how dare she. He has water and we were almost done cause we were not going to leave him long but it doesn't matter. People don't care they only care to act high and mighty with a ganging up mentality.  Getting members of the public involved is wrong and if she had bothered to put her hand in the car where it's cooler than outside and in the shade she would have realised she w...

Fighting for Community: Why The Aviator Matters More Than Ever Something powerful happens when people come together — when a space opens its doors to everyone, no matter their background, ability, or walk of life. That’s what The Aviator Sports & Live Lounge has done for our town. And now, it’s under threat. For years, The Aviator has been more than just a venue. It’s been a beating heart in Newton Aycliffe. A place for celebration, connection, live music, family events, sports, comfort food, and spontaneous laughter with strangers who become friends. It’s one of the rare spaces that makes you feel like you belong — and in a world that can feel so divided and isolating, that’s priceless. As a disabled woman, I’ve often found public spaces either inaccessible or unwelcoming. But not The Aviator. It’s one of the few places where I’ve never had to fight to be included. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and respectful. I can just be. That shouldn’t be rare — but sadly, it is....

Let the truth free:

https://suno.com/song/9d00a6ed-1993-4f89-8957-e870e2721dfb?sh=fktW7nMZgO995bZU The song I made about this on an AI app called SUNO with my lyrics (above) --- I'm done being scared and bullied and hiding. I set the truth free and if I get harmed and arrested for doing so, so be it. I refuse to be harmed or suffer anymore, I can't cope. I've harmed no one at any time and asking for an apology and blogging about my mistreatment doesn't justify false allegations. This has been breaking me. I need to set the truth free so my bullies have no more control. I'm sorry I wish I was stronger. I did my best.
