Accessibility Overview

We want to make the event as accessible as possible to everybody and we offer all reasonable measures to assist with your attendance and enjoyment.

At the same time, the event takes place on a large site made up of uneven grass surfaces with divots and tufts, so navigating around the site may at times be tricky. If there is significant wet weather these surfaces may become slippery and muddy. Volunteers may be available to assist anyone having difficulties on the day.

Accessibility tickets are available for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people that may require extra provisions in place to enjoy the event.

You may also request a free carer/companion/personal assistant ticket once you have purchased your accessibility ticket.

We offer an access wristband system to people that purchase an accessible ticket, which allows unquestioned access to provisions including but not limited to:

  • Fast lane queue(s) with wider aisles for wheelchair and mobility scooters. You will receive your access wristband at this point.
    • You will need to attend the Access Hub for your wristband if you purchase your ticket on the day.
  • A mobile changing places unit from Revolootion (Vehicle for change) will be situated near the entrance and available throughout both days. There will also be accessible portaloos throughout the site.
  • Ability to leave and return to the event with no extra cost.
  • A viewing platform for the main stage and viewing areas at other stages.
  • Further provisions are covered in the questions below.

Please note that strobe and lighting effects will be in use along with smoke machines and video displays. Due to the nature of the event it will be busy and noisy.

If you have any questions or concerns relating to accessibility, please contact Helen and the access team by email on access@pridecymru.com.

How do I get a carers/PA ticket?
