Accessible Campsite
Our accessible campsite includes many facilities & features to make your stay the best possible camping experience!
Some of the facilities are:
Please read all the information below before attending Camp Bestival Shropshire.
Camp Bestival Shropshire is an outdoor event utilising the grounds of Weston Park. The majority of the grounds are flat and are serviced by a network of paths, however mobility problems are posed on grass areas, particularly in bad weather conditions. If it rains it may get muddy and access around the site (other than on paths) may be very difficult. Electric wheelchairs can tackle most areas without too much trouble but the ground can be uneven in places. Please bear this in mind when attending the event and come prepared for all weather conditions.
There are some pathways located in the arena areas, but the majority of the festival is on short grass with firm soil.
Please note we do not offer any internal transport due to the limitations of moving around the site.
There are around 15 different stages and performance areas, which are located in the main arenas.
All of our Access Facilities can be booked online through the Camp Bestival Shropshire Accessibility Application form. Please purchase your ticket for Camp Bestival Shropshire, once purchased please complete our application form. Before booking/applying please read our accessibility information below.
Customers requiring assistance throughout the festival are entitled to apply for one free pass for their Personal Assistant/Support worker. Please note that the customer requiring assistance must have a valid festival ticket before applying. Once you have purchased your ticket please complete this application form and send it back to us with proof of disability. Here are a few of the documents we accept:
In the event the festival sells out and you haven’t applied for you PA ticket please do not worry. If you have a valid festival ticket we will ensure a PA ticket is made available for you.
**APPLICATIONS FOR CAMP BESTIVAL SHROPSHIRE 2022 ACCESSIBLE FACILITIES WILL OPEN LATER THIS YEAR**
Please do contact the access team if you need any assistance and we can help where possible: shropshireaccess@campbestival.net.
The ONE FREE pass will be collected at Camp Bestival Shropshire when you present your matching ID upon arrival and are with your personal assistant. This will not be sent to you in advance, and we will not issue any PA passes without matching ID (Passport or Driving License), so please remember to bring this with you to avoid disappointment! Personal Assistants will also be able to access the viewing platform if there is space available at the time.
If you feel you require a PA at the festival but do not have any of the above evidence, please contact us explaining your requirements, with any evidence you do have, and we will consider it on a case-by-case basis.
Everyone wishing to camp in the Accessible Campsite will need to apply via the Camp Bestival Shropshire Accessibility Application form.
Within the campsite we offer the following facilities:
Please note that a maximum of 6 people (including yourself and your Personal Assistant) may camp together. Each party will be given a pitch measuring 5x7m. All of your party need to be able to fit within your pitch.
Please note, cars are not permitted to stay in the campsite, once unloaded cars need to be parked in the access car park close by.
All groups are asked to abide by this so that we can fit as many people in the campsite as possible. Please be considerate of others - if you exceed the pitch size, you are taking space away from others!
The Main Stage – The viewing platform is located at the back of The Main Stage Field.
We also have a small viewing platform located at the back of the Big Top tent.
The viewing platforms & areas are only accessible to those with the correct passes. Our platform has a 1+1 policy so space can be used for those who need it most, however, we do appreciate that at times this may not be possible if you have children or adults who can’t be separated. If this is the case please inform our staff and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
There are accessible toilets located on the viewing platforms.
Everyone wishing to park in the accessible car park will need to apply via the Camp Bestival Shropshire Accessibility Application form.
All those approved to camp in the Accessible Campsite will automatically have space to camp in the Accessible Car Park.
If you are a day ticket holder and have a Blue Badge, you can apply to park in the Accessible Car Park via our online Application Form. Only Blue Badge holders, or those in the Accessible Campsite will be able to use the accessibility car park.
If you are camping in a different campsite to the accessibility campsite, it is not recommended for you to park in the accessible car park, as this is a further distance away. For all other campsites, we recommend you use either the general car park or campsite specific car parks.
