ACCESS

We want SUPERNORMAL to be as enjoyable and inclusive as possible; everyone is welcome.

If you experience anything that makes you uncomfortable on site please talk to someone at the production office and we will be happy to help. We make SUPERNORMAL together, let’s be good to each other.

If there’s anything we can do to make the festival easier for you to attend and enjoy, please contact [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help. If you plan on joining us and have a disability, specific requirements, or care for someone who does, we would like to understand your access needs in full.

During the festival the Production Office is open from 9am to 8pm to answer any questions. Feel free to approach anyone with a radio, including security or the medical team, who will answer any questions if they can or contact someone for assistance.

Please keep conversation in this space to a minimum.
