People with Disabilities

Please note that this festival is in the planning stages and therefore the information contained in this document may be changed or altered slightly in accordance with overall planning for the event.

Entrance

• A dedicated entrance will be provided for cars displaying a disability parking sticker (provisionally the Main Entrance Gate into Belvedere House & Gardens). Note: this is also the entrance for Site Services Personnel and Bus Transport.

• If you intend to arrive by car we would ask that you display a disability parking sticker in a visible position so that our parking stewards can see this and direct you to our dedicated parking area. Please note that a European disabled parking sticker / badge displayed in your car is essential if you wish to use disabled parking.

• Drop off and pick up areas will be at the Main Entrance for patrons with disabilities / mobility problems.
  

Dedicated Parking & Camping

• A dedicated parking area for people with mobility disabilities will be available. If camping then disabled parking and camping will be together. This area will be relatively close to the event site.

Site Accessibility

• As at all festivals, in wet weather the ground can become muddy. Facilities for wheelchair users have been arranged to maximise use of the hard ground that does exist. However, due to the large festival site, it must be noted that there may be significant distances to travel.

Toilets

• Unisex wheelchair accessible toilets will be available in the event arena and in the camp site. These toilets are reserved for people with disabilities so please inform stewards if you need to use the facilities and your disability is not obvious.

Viewing platforms

• Raised viewing platforms will be located in the Main Arena and in each of the two marquees. The access ramps are in accordance with disability regulations and in addition there will be stewards present to assist people in wheelchairs to access and emergency exits. The viewing platforms are solely for the use of people with a disability and their PA's.

Wheelchair charging facility

• A wheelchair charging facility will be provided (exact location to be advised). As there are lots of makes of chairs we ask that you bring your own charger with you.
  

Guide Dogs

• Guide dogs are very welcome, however family pets no matter how cherished are not allowed on site.

Laser & Strobe Lighting

• Note that there will be use of laser and strobe lighting at the event. People who have epilepsy or those affected by lighting effects should keep to the edge of the crowd.

Please ask for assistance

• If you need any assistance carrying food or beverages on the site, please tell the vendor who will be happy to assist you.

• Stewards and other staff are aware that not all disabilities are visible, so please make them aware of any needs and they will assist you if they can.
