Kilimanjaro Live welcomes disabled festival goers and takes all reasonable measures to assist with their attendance and enjoyment of the event. At the same time, the festival takes place in the open countryside and guests with accessibility needs should be aware that the main arena, car park and surrounding areas are, naturally, fairly uneven and may be difficult to navigate. Stewards will be available, subject to peak movements, to assist disabled guests in getting into the main arena.
Accessible toilets are provided on site.
There is no covered viewing platform at this event, but there is a wheelchair platform reserved for wheelchair users. However, if disabled guests find that there are specific problems resulting from their disability, please contact one of the stewards who will be happy to do everything possible to help you.
Please note disabled tickets need to be arranged ahead of time and not on the day of the event.
Premium Parking is available to book here. Parking is priced per car and is located a short 2 minute walk from the event entrance. The entrance for this car park will be at Delapre Abbey and will be signposted on the day. Cars are not permitted to be left in the car park overnight.
Blue Badge parking will be available next to the event entrance. There is no charge for this, but spaces are limited and offered on a first come first served basis. Please bring your blue badge to access the car park.
