Accessibility

There will be a section for disabled parking near the main entrance, these spaces will be on a first come first served basis, unfortunately we are unable to reserve parking.

The site will be accessible for wheelchairs – at the side of the stage there will be some boarding to make a walkway laid down on the grass for wheelchairs to go onto. But please bear in mind it is a farm so some areas will have undulating terrain.

There will be a disabled toilet available and Mobiloo will be onsite – a special disability changing facility.
