Entrance for people with a disability
There will be a designated entrance for Disabled Access which will lead directly to the dedicated camping and parking area.

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 or badge displayed in your car is essential if you wish to use disabled parking.

Staff members
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.

Parking & Camping
A dedicated parking area for people with mobility disabilities is available. Disabled parking and camping are together. This area will be indicated online closer to the event.

Anyone with a disability who wishes to camp in the main camping area are free to do so. However accessible toilets are not located in this area.

Sanitation
Unisex wheelchair accessible toilets will be available. There will be 3 disabled toilets in the event arena and one 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.

Site Accessibility
As at all festivals, in wet weather the ground can become muddy. Facilities for disabled people have been arranged to maximise use of the hard ground that does exist. The surface of the site is grass land used for farm grazing and is a relatively hard surface. However, due to the large festival site, it must be noted that there may be significant distances to travel.

Viewing Platforms
Raised viewing platforms will be located in a number of different areas of the festival site. 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 exit. The viewing platforms are solely for the use of people with a disability and their PA's. There is shelter on the viewing platform in the Main Arena.

Diabetics
First Aid posts will make private space available for diabetics needing to inject insulin. Needles should be declared to security at the entrance gates.

Wheelchair charging facility
A wheelchair charging facility will be located beside the security check area at Entrance 2, adjacent to the dedicated campsite for people with disabilities. Power outlets will be provided; as there is lots of makes of chairs we ask that you bring your own charger with you.

Drop off / Pick up locations
Drop off and pick up areas for patrons with disabilities and mobility problems will be designated closer to the event.
