Overview

I was hesitant to go to a music festival in my power chair however the organisers have arranged everything so that wheelchair users can simply enjoy the day. There is a platform looking right onto the main stage, with helpful and friendly staff available right next to you, and the accessible toilets are within the area containing the platform which is cordoned off so that only those with an accessible band can access the area. There are disabled toilets throughout the park as well. There is staff available to take food and drink orders so that you don't even have to experience the rough terrain of the grass surrounding the platform however should know how impressed I am that the entrance to the accessible platform has a direct concrete path so there is little discomfort.

Transport & Parking

There is a street closed off for blue badge parking. All you need to do is show your blue badge and show your ticket.

Access

The festival is held within Glasgow Green which is all on one level, with a viewing platform looking straight onto the main stage, and a concrete path which leads straight to the viewing area.

Toilets

There are disabled toilets throughout the festival, including a large number within the enclosed viewing platform area. The toilets are well stocked with toilet roll which is topped up throughout the day, there is water for washing your hands and there is alcohol and sanitiser.

Staff

Staff helpful and friendly, the staff within the viewing platform know their stuff and are more than willing to help.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I really didn't think a music festival would be as comfortable as it was, if you get there early and are at the front of the viewing platform, this is your space for the rest of the day whether you move or not. The staff were understanding, friendly and more than willing to help with anything that needs to happen or makes you more comfortable. A tremendous amount of work has gone into making this event as accessible as possible and it has paid off.
