Site Access
The festival is held at Raehills Estate which is a greenfields site with varying conditions, there are some hardcore paths throughout but most of the festival takes place on grassland so all terrain wheelchairs would be required. Most of the festival is also open air so ground conditions are heavily effected by the weather, if its rainy then expect there to be mud. The boardwalk stage is in the woodland on rougher ground amongst the trees, and the paths are created from woodchip so this area may be difficult to navigate in wheelchairs even in good weather. There are no accessible toilets in the woodland area due to no vehicle access. All over site at night time lighting is low level due instalations.
