Venue Information - Accessibility

Parking

There are parking spaces at the clubhouse entrance area which are reserved for blue badge holders. These are available on a first come first served basis. Your blue badge must be on display.

There is the option to drop off passengers at the door and then park, for those who do not have a blue badge but would find it easier to not walk from the car park - which is either in a field or on hard standing or potentially in the overflow car park which is a good 5 minute walk from the entrance.

Festival Shuttle service

This is a regular 8 seater vehicle and it has not been adapted. Passengers will need to be able to get in and out of the vehicle without support. The drivers are volunteers and they have not been trained to help those with disabilities.

Festival Layout

The festival takes place in three areas.

a. Clubhouse: is fully accessible.

b. Beer Tent & Outdoor food court area

The beer tent is laid out at the rear of the clubhouse on the field and the food court is outdoors on the field.

The floor of the tent will be covered in carpet, however this may not be easy for those with mobility issues, it is of course laid on grass and the ground will not be level.

To reach the beer tent customers will need to pass through the club house, out the rear doors and down one step on to the field. Guests who can not managed the one step down to the field may access the field area from the carpark which is step free.

The live music takes place in the Beer Tent.

Toilets

There is one accessible toilet for guests with disabilities. It is located in the clubhouse entrance area.

Guide Dogs

Guide dogs are welcome. There is water and open space for dogs.

Help at the Bar

The Bar service areas are quite high and may not be easily accessible to wheelchair users. The drinks menu is available online - it can be downloaded on to your phone so you will be able to review what you wish to order.

If you need assistance at the bar the volunteers who are serving behind the bar have been asked to support those that need extra help. It is recommended that you look for service at the bar ends so the server can come out from behind the bar and take your order.

Seating

The beer festival will be crowded, and seating is limited. Those who prefer to sit are welcome to bring their own folding outdoor chairs / picnic blankets.

First Aid

There are first aiders on site. Anyone needing assistance should approach the front desk or in an emergency call 999, additionally send someone ask the music stage director to make an immediate PA announcement for the first aiders to attend the scene.
