Accessible schedule for festival events

Hello,

I will be helping a planner with a website for next year's weekend festival. We may want some schedule which shows the events happening at particular times in different locations. The way I've seen this before is to use a table with merged cells to block off the events for the times they occur. (example in Excel attached) However, it seems this may not be the best option from an accessibility perspective.

Has anyone developed a design to show activities happening throughout the day during an event in such a way that users can quickly identify when and where activities are happening and whether certain activities are happening at the same time? Can you direct me to any examples or training to help develop something to accomplish the goal?

Thanks,
Vanessa
