♿ Level Access
The estate is a historic property, and some areas of the main building have features which may affect accessibility, including stairs and no lift access to the upper floors. There are, however, accessible areas on the ground floor.
The festival itself takes place primarily across the estate grounds, which are much more accessible. The main festival areas are largely flat, with firm routes between key areas suitable for wheelchairs and other mobility aids.
We have also tested the woodland section of the grounds with members of our team with varying levels of mobility, including both wheelchair and walking-cane users. This has helped us identify areas which may present additional challenges and plan our routes and festival layout with a range of mobility needs in mind.
As with any outdoor festival, some areas of the grounds are naturally uneven or may become more difficult to navigate depending on weather conditions. Our team will be on hand throughout the event to help visitors where we can.
