Parking
Accessible parking must be pre-booked (charge of £8 applies). This is provided within the main car park and the surface is gravel.
The designated accessible arena entrance is situated 50m from the accessible car park along a grass path.
Arena

This is situated 150m from the accessible entrance on a grass path. All places on the accessible Viewing Platform must be pre-booked. The platform is located approximately 75m from the stage. The platform has a non- slip surface and is double level with ramps.
A ground-level, grass Accessible Viewing Area is provided beside the viewing platform for customers who have health conditions or other disabilities and need a less crowded area and access to the accessible toilets. Please be aware that the ground-level viewing area will not be perfectly flat; the grass surface may be uneven and may be on slight slope due to the topography of the site. There will not be an unrestricted sight line of the stage in this area, as there will be customers in front of the ground-level grass Accessible Viewing Area who are likely to be standing up. All places in the ground-level grass Accessible Viewing Area must be pre-booked.
Registered assistance dogs are permitted, but the live sound may disturb the animal. No other dogs are allowed on site.
