Good
Considering this is a tent it's very impressive! Went to watch Abnormally Funny People with some pals including two powerchair users and it worked out well. It was part of the St Andrews Square set up and there were great bars and an accessible loo too.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The venue itself is a massive tent! There was a small entrance and then through another set of material "doors" and you're into the main space. There were chairs arranged but the staff were able to help us move them to get all of us accommodated. The most annoying bit of whole experience was before we even got to venue when we had to walk half way back down George Street to pick up our tickets as we couldn't pick them up from box office on site.
Parking & Transport
Average
Mixed! Parking a bit of a nightmare - but it was the festival... Lots of bus stops nearby. Plus a tram stop right next door.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Good enough loo but the annoying thing were all the non disabled people using it. Standard large large portacabin accessible loo with plenty of room. During day fine but later in the day did become a bit grubby. Great signage!
Staff
Good
Pretty great. Welcoming and helped us move chairs etc.
Additional Information
See above re ticketing arrangements - very annoying!
