Further equiries prior to the event

National and Regional music press and the internet provide a wealth of information.

Unfortunately we cannot accept phone enquiries, but you can call 020 7009 3000 for urgent enquiries, leave your details and we will call you back.
Events sell out quickly, so you may wish to buy your ticket immediately. We can arrange a refund if you change your mind about attending after hearing back from us, if you buy from See Tickets or Festival Republic.

IMPORTANT!
Our offices close completely for one week prior to the start of each event, as staff move to site, so we cannot respond to phone enquiries/emails at this time.

Site layout & ground conditions

Bramham Park is a parkland estate. The arena is fairly flat but some backstage areas are very steep. The ground is generally uneven and grass throughout with no pathways or covered walkways. 

Adverse weather conditions can drastically alter the ease of movement. We are always looking at ways to improve access and plans for access in 2010 are currently under review – please check back here for updates shortly.

Disabled campsite & Hospitality area

The campsite is shared with between guests and disabled customers. Due to the fire risk it is a condition of our licence that cars and tents must be separated. We will reserve the parking spaces closest to the campsite for disabled customers displaying a car pass. 

Each disabled customer may have up to three people camping with them, and one car. If you wish to camp in a larger group, you can do so in any of the public campsites.

Disabled campsites requires a disabled access wristband.

There will be a charging point for electric wheelchairs in the campsite.

Toilets

There are adapted toilets at each toilet block in the arena, at each stage viewing platform, in the disabled/guest campsite and in the hospitality area.

Medical services and assistance at the event

Events Medical Services are equipped to provide first aid, minor casualty and resuscitation.

They run a 24-hour medical centre with general practice facilities, staffed with doctors, nurses and paramedics. They have details of emergency dentists and local chemists. First Aid units around the festival run between 11am and 11pm each day. 

Contact Dr. Matt Robbins at
matt@eventsmedicalservices.co.uk

Viewing platforms

Disabled Access Wristbands give access the viewing platforms. Platforms are solely for disabled people and PA’s. We plan to have a viewing platform at every music stage.

Access ramps will have at a gradient of 1:12. There will be lighting on the main stage ramp and some seating for PA’s. The Main stage platform is not covered.

Attitude Is Everything provides a number of disabled stewards on the viewing platforms.

Use of laser and strobe lights at the event will be preceded by announcements from the stage.

Those affected should allow sufficient time to leave the area before effects begin, bearing in mind it can be slow to move through the crowd.

Welfare

This service operates 24-hours a day, as does the medical tent.

Guest List

The guest list is at Yellow Gate on Thorner Road and the shuttle bus drop off is nearby.
