Guests are reminded that the Festival of Speed is on a grassy terrain.
Track Crossing
A track crossing is provided before the Startline, allowing those with accessibility needs to cross the track at almost all times, as opposed to having to wait for track crossings to open between car batches. This will be highlighted on the visitor guide map. Should you require additional assistance, please contact a member of staff.
Toilets
Accessible toilets are available and will be highlighted on the visitor guide map.
A RevoLOOtion unit will be on site - a mobile toilet with hoist and changing table. Please bring your own sling if you wish to use the hoist. The unit is located at the toilet block near Gate 1. More information can be found at www.revolootion.org.uk.
On Site Transport
There is a courtesy shuttle service in all car parks to give assistance to those unable to walk to the event entrances; they will drop you at Event Gate 1 or the closest event pedestrian gate, depending on which car park you are in. Please wait by the Accessible Courtesy Shuttle signs (located within each car park) for assistance or flag down a vehicle as they pass.
A shuttle service using buggies is available within the main event site to help those with accessibility needs get around the different locations and attractions. Please speak to a member of staff who will be able to arrange a shuttle for you.
