Disabled Access

It’s really important to us that everybody enjoys Bristol Volksfest and we do as much as we can to assist our disabled visitors. It’s important to consider that the current venue is on a green field farm site. Although the ground is very flat and solid, there are no hard standing areas or concrete pathways around the main show area. The event is situated in open grass fields with a few lumps and bumps with some uneven surfaces that could make it tricky to get about.

 

Disabled Parking

There is a disabled parking area at the front of the main car park. Please follow signs for ‘Day Visitors’ when approaching the site. This is the closest place to park to the main show site but please note that this is still situated about 300-400 metres from the show entrance. To park in the disabled parking area, visitors must present a legitimate disabled parking permit in the window of their vehicle. Spaces cannot be pre booked and are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Disabled toilets

There are disabled toilets situated around the show site and in the disabled camping area. These facilities are for the use of disabled visitors only. If you can’t locate them, please ask one of our friendly staff and they will be able to direct you straight to one.

Assistance dogs are welcome

All Assistance dogs are welcome at Bristol Volksfest.
