Accessibility

We strive to make sure that RADAR Festival is accessible to everyone. As we’ve moved to our new home at Magna, we’re updating our accessibility processes and information. We’re working hard to provide as much information as possible in advance, and appreciate your patience while we transition to the new venue.

If you have any questions, please contact us at

[email protected]

 

An extensive Accessibility Guide will be published well in advance of the festival. It will once again be hosted by Different Breed, who specialise in accessible fan guides.

The guide will include detailed information about the venue, facilities, maps and accessibility provisions.

Please keep an eye on this website and our social media for announcements when it becomes available

Useful information

Strobe lighting and special effects
