Access in and around Brockwell Park
The show takes place in Brockwell Park, which recently retained its Green Flag Award. Tarmac pathways and road systems run throughout that makes it easily accessible for wheelchair users to get around. However, all road systems leading to the centre of the park from entrances run up a slight gradient.
All activities and stages are situated on the grass fields of the park. Such terrain can become muddy in wet weather that can limit access across fields and mobility can become difficult. Access across these fields is not an issue when the sun is shining and ground conditions are dry.
Accessible Parking
Accessible parking is available on both days and is free of charge for Blue Badge holders only.
This car park is located approximately 100 metres from our Accessible Entrance along a tarmac roadway with very little grandient.
Access to the car park can be made through GREEN GATE (Gate 2), which is located on Brockwell Park Gardens, SE24 9BJ.
There is no public car park, so friends and/or family arriving in separate vehicles will not be able to use this car park.
Passes can only be requested by completing our Access Request Form. Due to the limit on suitable parking space within the park, we regret that available spaces can only be issued on a first come, first served basis.
We do not allow access to the car park if you have not booked in advance.
