If you’re into live music, food and wine then this festival is absolutely one of the best value for money options available. Three days of live entertainment for $90 cannot be beat.

Before you go though you want to ensure your needs can be met so here is my review of the festival’s accessibility features.

Pros:

• The festival is held in Queens Park which is a flat park covered in grass or dirt and leaves. This makes it relatively easy to manoeuvre for people with mobility devices.
• The festival is located within easy travelling distance of one of the major flower displays in the city. Access to this is along a flat footpath.
• Great value for money your entry ticket accesses not only ten hours of live music but access to flower arranging workshops, cooking displays and more.
• This is very much a festival aimed at families in the style of a large group of people sharing a picnic whilst listening to music. Feel free to bring your collapsible chairs, tables and picnic blankets.
• Disability toilets provided are the smaller type of portable accessible toilets. Within 100 metres of the festival gates there is a public permanent toilet with full disability fit out.
• Crowd sizes at this festival are relatively small and easier to navigate as opposed to bigger events.
• There is a drop off zone close to the front gates for those that cannot access a disabled park close to the festival.

Cons:

• This is not an all-weather venue. If it rains you will need to provide your own wet weather gear.
• There is no changing places toilet at the festival.
• Disability parking for the festival is extremely limited close to the festival gates. Normal street parking and parking places raising funds for local groups at a price are available within a relatively short distance for those organised to get there early.
• The temperatures can fluctuate significantly from being very hot during the day to very cold at night.
• Disability toilets provided are not large enough for large power wheelchairs.
• There are no special accessible facilities to this festival in terms of viewing platforms or access to food and wine.
