WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
All venues, food outlets, cafés, bar, bookshop and gift shop have wheelchair access and most performance venues are fitted with an induction loop. Sometimes this system can be skewed by the aluminium structures of our tents. Please ask the stewards for the best place to sit.
To find out if the venue you will be attending has an indication loop or wheelchair space, or to reserve a parking space (blue badge holders only), please inform the Box Office staff when booking your tickets. Disabled access toilets are available on site.
