Accessible parking

[Glastonbezza]

I have accessible parking this year and can't find much info on it. Are the queues shorter? Can my full group in car go through this gate? Will I be a shorter walk from the main site? Any answers or info on it from anyone who's experienced it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

probably no queue to get into the parking field, probably a big queue if you'll be getting wrist banded* etc, in the accessible tent, we had a two hour queue in blazing sun 2 years ago. (*alternatively you could walk along the fence line to gate A)i don't know about the rest of your group. the accessible car park is nearer to the main site, than most other car parks. if you're waiting on more info from the acessible team, what they send thru the post has lots of good extra info.

Only you and your named PA or Companion (If you have one) on your Accessible Application form can get their wristbands at the Accessible Arrivals Marquee.

If you have a free PA ticket this is the only place it can be collected.

Did you apply to use any other Accessible Facilities? If so you will need to collect the wristbands and or passes for these from there too.

Are their any children in the group? 

Are you camping in Spring Ground?

All other members of your group have to go to Gate A.

The queues are considerably shorter but the processing time is longer as it's not a case of just issuing a wristband, most people also have other wristbands and passes to collect.  

It depends where you class as the "main site", I have attached last years Access Map to give you an idea of the location of the Accessible Arrivals Car Park, see D16 for the entrance point into Yellow Gate and the distances from the Accessible Car Park to Spring Ground and then from Spring Ground to to some of the areas within the festival. 

Let me know your replies and i can advise you accordingly. 😊

Thanks for the info, I have no p/a ticket, just struggle with walking long distances and carrying things a long way so have the shortcuts access. I have no children with me and was hoping to get in oxleyers along with the rest of my group so looks like it will just be a long walk with plenty of stops. Thanks for the info and maps👍🏻

If you have the cut throughs this is usually for you and a companion. Drop an email to the Access Team to check or it may already say this on your confirmation email from them. I have attached what my own confirmation says below.

 

At the same time ask if you can take a companion with you to support you when collecting your passes from the Accessible Arrivals Marquee. They will need the persons name and registration number to enable them to wristband them. Hopefully they will allow this as you need someone to help you to carry things. 🙂

you'll probably never need to show them, depending how visible any disability is.
