Site Layout and Ground Conditions
The Festival is spread over a 1,200 acre green field site and dairy farm. There are some stone paths and metal trackway is used but the site can be very difficult to traverse. The weather can have a massive impact on how easy it is for people to move around the site, please take this into consideration when deciding on what equipment to bring with you.
Campsite
There is a disabled campsite located onsite. It is run by an experienced team who will be on hand to assist you throughout your stay with us. Due to the increasing number of applicants we do ask that each disabled customer has a maximum of 3 others camping with them. If you wish to camp in a larger group, you are of course free to do so in any of the public campsites.
Bringing Campervans into Disabled Camping
We do have some spaces in the campsite for campervans or caravans. These are for those people that would be unable to attend the Festival if made to camp and require the use of the disabled facilities within the campsite.
You do not need to buy a campervan ticket for one of these spaces. Further details on how to apply for a space are included in the info pack.
If you require a campervan/caravan but do not require the additional facilities within the disabled campsite then we do ask that you use the designated campervan fields instead.
Toilets
There are adapted toilets at locations throughout the Festival site. To use these you will require a code and map of their locations. Please contact us for more information on this.
Viewing Platforms
There are viewing platforms at the Pyramid, Other, Acoustic, Jazz World, John Peel and Dance East Stages. These platforms are solely for the use of disabled festival goers plus one PA/friend. Every platform has a team of stewards ready to assist people where needed. The access ramps will be in accordance with disability regulations.
British Sign Language Interpreters
DeafZone will again be onsite offering a free Interpreting service. More information on this service will be available closer to the festival.
Event Mobility
This year we will have a team from Event Mobility onsite hiring out both electric and manual wheelchairs. For more information on this service please contact Event Mobility directly.
