We welcome assistance dogs to the event, as long as they have been specifically trained to assist you, only use the toilet in a designated spending area and behave in a way that is appropriate around other customers. If you are planning to bring your assistance dog, we ask that you let us know by completing the online access booking form in advance so we can give you any necessary information and to enable us to plan to ensure you have the best experience possible.
We have accessible parking available, spaces are limited and must be pre-booked. To book a space please contact our team on [email protected].
You are welcome to bring your own food for personal consumption to Bounce!
Power points are available at the Accessible Reception and at each Accessible Viewing Platform.
The show takes place in Brockwell Park. The area is predominantly grass, with limited hard standing pathways. All activities and stages are situated on the grass fields of the park.
Such terrain can become muddy in wet weather and this can limit access or make mobility more difficult. The weather can have a big impact on how easy it is for people to move around the site so please take this into consideration when planning your day.
Although there are some tarmac tracks on the festival site, these do not run into the stages (which all stand on grass). All road systems leading to the centre of the park from the entrances run up a slight gradient.
We understand that a hidden disability is not immediately apparent. We recognise the sunflower lanyard and card scheme. If you would like support or advice, our Access Manager will be the main point of contact and is based at the Access Reception. Alternatively, please contact us in advance with your questions [email protected].
Due to the nature of the event there will be flashing lights and strobe effects on all stages. Lasers may be used for some performances.
There are seven main bars at the event and lowered counters will be available at each.
Please note that some of our sponsored bars are not able to provide lowered counters so where possible they will offer an alternative serving policy.
Please ask our staff for help.
If you need to store medicine, you can store it in the fridge in the medical centre, please go to the Welfare tent where someone will be able to assist you.
If you wish to bring medication to the festival, please email our team at [email protected] in advance of the event.
This is a space that people can use when they need to get away from the crowd for a while. It is located in the Welfare Tent.
Brockwell Bounce is a standing festival, but there is limited seating across the site and is within picnic areas only. Personal chairs and stools are not permitted.
If seating is compulsory to your enjoyment of the event due to medical circumstances, you may apply for access to our viewing platforms via the access booking form. Please note that seating is limited on the accessible viewing platforms and will be granted on a first come first served basis. All access customers are permitted to use the fast track access entrance lane, located at both public entrances.
Hearing loops will be available at the Box Office, the Accreditation Office, the Access Tent and at Bar 2 (located next to the Access Tent).
