ACCESSIBILITY
We know that festival sites are not always the easiest places for people with disabilities or accessibility needs to navigate, so we’re doing everything we can to make your experience as trouble free and enjoyable as possible.
ACCESSIBILITY HUB
We provide a dedicated Accessibility Hub – a campsite and support area for attendees who require additional assistance. The Hub has a fixed physical capacity, determined by the infrastructure and safety requirements of our temporary event site.
For 2026, the Hub has reached its capacity.
We are not able to accept further applications at this time. This decision applies equally to all applicants and is based solely on the operational limits of the space, not on the nature or severity of any individual’s disability’.
ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT
We have a dedicated Accessibility Lead on site to support anyone with a disability or access requirement. They’ll be your main point of contact if you need assistance during the festival.
FACILITIES
Accessible Toilets: Two accessible toilets will be available – one in the Accessible Campsite and one in the main festival area.
Viewing Areas: While we don’t have a designated accessible viewing platform, our Area Guardians will make sure you’re supported and have a clear line of sight to the entertainment.
Large Print Materials: Large-print site maps and schedules are available on request. Please contact us in advance if you need one.
SITE CONDITIONS
Please note that the site doesn’t have metal tracking for wheelchairs and some areas have rough ground or uneven paths. If the weather turns wet, the fields can get muddy and slippery, so please plan ahead and bring anything that helps you move around safely and comfortably.
PRESCRIBED MEDICATION
We want everyone to feel welcome, supported and able to arrive with everything they need to en joy their time on the land. If you are bringing prescribed medication, including cannabis-based medicinal products prescribed under UK law, you’re very welcome to do so.
To help make your arrival as smooth as possible, please bring:
- Your medication in its original pharmacy packaging, with the dispensing label in your name.
- A valid photo ID that matches the name on the prescription.
- A copy of your prescription or clinic letter. A Cancard can also be provided as supporting evidence.
Our Access Team will carry out a quick and discreet check at the gate, after which your medication will remain with you throughout the festival. If your medication needs to be kept refrigerated, our Welfare Team can provide secure refrigerated storage for you if needed. Medical cannabis used with a vaporiser may be used within the designated smoking areas.
If you have any questions before arriving, our Access Team is always happy to help. You’re very welcome to get in touch with us in advance at accessibility@medicineestival.com – though this isn’t required in order to bring your prescribed medication to Medicine.
