BESTIVAL INFORMATION

Disabled Facilities

Thursday 13th October 2011


The festival sits in an area which isn't very level and wheelchair users and those with serious mobility issues would find it hard going in bad weather. The festival does offer free carer tickets so that they can help, although to access some areas without motorised chairs it's hard work.

It does offer all the usual facilities, it's worth contacting them first for info on wheelchair chargers, disabled parking, medical support, disabled loos, etc. Only some of the larger stages have viewing platforms with decent views.

Most stages and stalls are positioned relatively close to one another, however, and movement and viewing throughout the day is easy, at night however congestion can occur either in front or getting to stages and large crowds of people develop. It's worth using the woods side of the site for easier travelling at night, but take a torch (lights).

There is a dedicated disabled camping area near to the Robin Hill entrance, and it's worth using. The normal campsite is large although in the most part level. The distance to and from the main camping areas can be great and the fields are bumpy in places. Some areas may be suitable in dry weather but most will not in wet weather or if it has rained in the week preceding the festival.

The Disability Camping Area has tarmac paths that lead from it into various parts of the festival and because you will be able to park your car here. It is about 5 minutes from here to the main arena a quite steep downhill slope on the way there and uphill on the way home.
