Accentuate

Trail Blazing was an exploration of how creative approaches could make guided tours more accessible to a wider public. Splodge Designs were commissioned to devise a methdology that could be transferrable to varied heritage sites, which would be achieveable on a low budget and which would broaden the experience of a heritage visit for disabled people.

Paul and Clare from Splodge Designs worked with two sites in Gosport, Fort Brockhurst and the Lightship at Haslar Marina, and ran two trial events in early 2012. A short film was made about their work and they produced a Guide to Trail Blazing which can be downloaded from the Resources section of Accentuate Heritage.  

What an amazing experience! The tactile artwork and sound recordings of days gone by melded perfectly together. Visitor to the Trail Blazing day at Fort Brockhurst, January 2012
