Disabled Info

Please read the information on this page in conjunction with the information detailed in the ‘Things you need to know’ section of either Weston Park or Hylands Park depending on which site you are intending to visit.

Stewards and other festival staff are aware that not all disabililties are visible, so we ask that you are patient if you do not receive the attention you would expect. Please make them aware of any problems and they will assist you.

SEE Tickets receive a briefing document with regard to disabled facilities so they should be able to answer your querires, although we do try to answer everything here and also on the booklet you will receive with your tickets.

You will receive site information in writing with your tickets. This will contain details on how to access the campsites, arena and viewing platforms. you will also receive a wristband that will give you and your helper access to the disabled facilties on site.

There are some paths through the park but please note that Weston is parkland and the terrain is uneven and difficult to traverse. You should bear this in mind if you are a wheelchair user or find mobility difficult, especially in the dark and in inclement weather.

If you require assistance at any time during the festival please speak with a Steward or enquire at the Welfare Tent or information points
