Access Support during the festival

Nice Twice Club and Gig Buddies are back on Princes Dock St again this year and we will have Elephant in the Room Inclusion Services offering roaming support across the site with our access volunteers.

Access at the shows

• In our programme, we have ‘What to Expect’ icons for quick information on each event including trigger warnings and content info. The access icons show which shows have different access provision.

• At our non-ticketed shows, you can leave and return at your leisure.

• You are welcome to arrive as early as you like to feel comfortable in the space.

• Our volunteers and staff have been trained to support you should you need it.
