Accessibility at the festival

We aim to make Queer Spirit Festival as accessible as possible. There will be a dedicated accessible camping area.

This area will have an accessible toilet and is close to the welfare tent where volunteers can provide emotional and practical support (e.g. help putting up tents). Hot water will also be available. This is a quiet camping area.

Access around the site

The site is flat, easy to get around, but please note it is a large space. If you wish to camp in accessible camping area there is a dedicated car park right next to the area. Depending on ground conditions you may be able to bring your vehicle right onto the site to unload and then return your vehicle to the car park for the duration of the festival. If this is not possible we will have people available to help you transport your items. Most of the site is at ground level including marquees, healing area, catering, workshop spaces etc. There may be a few steps up to some of the toilets/showers, but accessible ones are also available.

Camping

We have a dedicated 'quiet camping' area on site. You do not need to reserve a space, but it will help us if you let us know that you may wish to camp there.

Power

We are aiming to have a charging point for batteries etc.  It would really help with our power planning if you could contact us to let us know of any specific requirements you may have.

Strobes & flashing lights

Please be aware that laser, strobe and other lighting effects may be in use at times in the main marquee at the festival, however this will always be clearly indicated and publicised.
