At Wireless we aim to create an event that is truly accessible for all, by providing a variety of facilities on-site to cater for all abilities. A full list of these facilities, available for both Access and D/deaf customers, will be listed here in detail closer to the event.
In order to provide the best possible experience, we ask that everyone who wishes to use the access facilities at Wireless Festival complete and submit an Access Requirements Form prior to arriving on-site. You must have already purchased a ticket before applying for disabled access.
Our 2021 Access Requirement Form is: Now Open until 16th August 2021
To allow us to plan all of the facilities and infrastructure for the festival please submit your application as soon as you can.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
When applying for access at Wireless Festival we ask that you provide one of the following forms of documentation which will act as evidence of your requirements. Without this documentation we will be unable to grant you access, or provide complimentary PA Tickets.
Please note: If you are on the Festival Republic access database (i.e. have previously applied and had an application approved within the last three years) you will not need to re-supply documentation.
Accepted forms of documentation are:
§ DLA (Care and / or mobility)

§ A Medical professionals letter (To be reviewed case by case)

If you do not have one of the forms of documentation listed above, please contact us and we’ll be able to advise further. Alternatively, if you do have required documentation but are unable to include it in your application, please state you will forward it to us (by email, fax or post) in the ‘Additional Notes’ box on the form.
All submitted documentation is kept strictly confidential and securely destroyed after processing.
ACCESS DATABASE
Whilst submitting your application form, you can choose to join Festival Republic’s Access Database. By doing so, once accepted a first time, you will not need to resubmit documentation for a further three years and will automatically be pre-approved for access at our festivals.
Please note: Once approved we will only retain your name and email address. We will never use your information for any other purposes (unless specifically stated) or share this with any third parties.
TIMELINE
We aim to process all applications within 4 weeks of customers submitting an Access Requirements Form; however, due to demand, this is not always possible.
Once your application has been approved we will send a confirmation email, detailing the facilities you have requested access to, and confirming your PA Ticket (if applicable).
Nearer the event successful applicants will also be sent an email containing a downloadable Access Guide.
Everyone who successfully applies for access at Wireless will be sent an Access Guide (via email) prior to the event, including detailed access information.
We recommend saving and printing a copy of the Access Guide for your own reference (once available), as no hard copies will be available on-site.
A downloadable copy of the Access Guide will also be available here nearer the event.
If a customer is unable to attend Wireless without the support from a Companion/PA then we will provide an additional ticket at no extra cost.
You can apply for a Companion/PA Ticket when completing your Access Application Form.
