The Access Card is a scheme from Nimbus and is designed to streamline the process of communicating your access needs, the Access Card translates your disability or impairment into easy-to-understand symbols. You can read more about how the symbols are allocated here.

Nimbus offers two possible options:

• A free Brockwell Live Digital Access Pass that can be used to apply for accessible facilities at Brockwell Live.

• A £15 physical Access Card that can be used at multiple festivals and venues across the UK, including Glastonbury Festival and The O2, eliminating the need for repeated explanations.

Our use of the Nimbus Access Card and Digital Access Pass Scheme aims to build a more inclusive environment. This not only supports your individual needs but also contributes to a broader movement towards better accessibility for all.

We use the Nimbus Access Card Scheme in order for people to translate their disabilities and impairments into easy to understand symbols. From there, we have worked with Nimbus to allocate these symbols to our facilities on-site.

Some accessible facilities at Brockwell Live must be applied for in advance through our application process. You must have either a Brockwell Live Digital Access Pass or Access Card, as well as a ticket booking in order to apply. 

For details on how to apply, please see our step by step process here:

1. Firstly, you will need to apply for a Brockwell Live Digital Access Pass. This is only valid at the Brockwell Live shows and lasts for 3 years. You will also see the option to upgrade to an Access Card for £15 that can be used at venues across the country. If you already have an Access Card, you can skip this step!

2. You must then complete our Access Request Form, for which your Digital Access Pass or Access Card ID number will be required. Please note, this is now closed for 2026.

Once you have filled out the Access Request Form, our team will assess the symbols on your access card and get back to you as soon as possible. 

The deadline for making bookable access facility requests is two weeks before the festival. The access request forms have now closed.

The access request forms should be completed by those wishing to use any of our bookable facilities (PA ticket, AVP and Accessible Parking).

Submitting a request does not guarantee approval. You may be asked to provide evidence of medical need, such as an original prescription, pharmacy label, or a letter from a medical professional. Photographs will not be accepted. Items may still be subject to search and verification, and without appropriate evidence, entry of the item(s) cannot be guaranteed.

We thank you in advance for your patience during these busy periods, our team will respond as swiftly as possible.

The event takes place in Brockwell Park. The area is predominantly grass, with limited hard standing pathways. All activities and stages are situated on the grass fields of the park.

Ground conditions can be significantly affected by the weather, so we recommend taking this into consideration when planning your day. 

In wet weather, the ground may become muddy, which can make moving around the site more difficult. Most of the festival site is uncovered, so please prepare for all weather conditions.

Although there are some tarmac pathways on the festival site, these do not run into the stages or accessible viewing platforms. Ground surfaces at the stages are grass, with some temporary plastic matting. All pathways leading to the centre of the park from the entrances run up a slight gradient.

All the Brockwell Live events are standing only. There is some unreserved seating across the site, however this is limited and is within picnic areas only. Personal chairs and stools are not permitted. 

If seating is essential to your enjoyment of the event due to medical circumstances, you may apply for access to our viewing platforms via the access booking form. Please note that seating is limited on the accessible viewing platforms and will be granted on a first come first served basis. 

In order to ensure all those with permanent disabilities can access our bookable facilities we are unable to accommodate any temporary conditions. This is considered to be anything that will affect the individual for less than 12 months.

However, Brockwell Live remains committed to ensuring comfort and safety for all attendees. Individuals who are pregnant or temporarily injured are encouraged to visit the Access Hub on the day, so reasonable adjustments can be made where possible (e.g. seating, proximity to facilities, or rest areas).

Due to the nature of the event, flashing lights and strobe effects will be used across all stages. Lasers may also be used during some performances.

More detailed information, including stage-specific guidance, will be shared closer to the festival to support people in planning their visit.
