We are committed to making the Sunset Festival as accessible as possible and great efforts are being been made to achieve this where reasonable. The grounds are flat fields however, the festival is an outdoor event utilising farm land that could pose problems, particularly in wet weather.

Getting Around
Electric wheelchairs can tackle most areas without too much hindrance but the ground can be quite uneven in places and is predominantly on grass. If it rains it may get muddy and access around the site (other than on the paths) may be very difficult. The terrain is predominantly short grass with firm soil so movement around the main arena and other stages is possible for fit wheelchair users in good weather. But carers may be needed to aid easy access around the site.
Camping
Your friends can camp with you in the disabled camping area but this must be arranged when registering.
Parking
Vehicles with a blue badge (or similar) can park for free close to the camping field. Friends will have to park in the main car park, however.
Facilities
Charging points for electric wheelchairs are available upon request.
Certain medical support is available from the on site medical centre but any specific medical needs should be discussed before purchasing a ticket.
Accessible lavatories will be positioned at various places around the festival and we aim to protect them from public use.
Stewards will be on hand to help with any issues that may arise during the weekend
