Truck Festival welcomes all audience members to its festival, and hopes to provide an enjoyable weekend for all. The following information might be useful if you have any access requirements.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to make contact.
Site details
Truck Festival is an outdoor event, and terrain can be tough especially in some weather conditions. The majority of the site is flat grassy areas'; with some road tracks offering more direct routes to other parts of the site. The main non grass route connecting the campsite and arenas has uneven tarmac and the road to the guest / performers camping / main stage is up a steep stony hill track.
The site has wheelchair accessible toilets in the main arena and disabled campsite. The main arena toilets are located on loose gravel.
There is a disabled campsite and parking (with short grass) near the farm buildings, please advise us in advance if you wish to use this facility as it is located in an area not open to all ticket holders.
A battery charge point for electric wheelchairs is located at First Aid.
A viewing platform is situated at the main stage. Other viewing platforms are TBC, but stewards at the stages should be able to provide direction.
Assistance dogs are welcome
