Inclusion is at the heart of Festival of the Sea. We work with all our artists and teams to make each part of your festival experience accessible.
Festival of the Sea is being held across the town centre in two key areas – Alexandra Dock Waterfront and Riverhead Square. Surfaces are mostly hard-standing, permanent roads.
All of our sites welcome Assistance Dogs and have seating available. There will also be accessible signage via large print schedules and large signs across the site.
