Deva Fest is committed to being an event accessible to all which is why we work with Attitude is Everything to ensure we can achieve this.
Attitude is Everything is a UK-based charity who work to improve access to live music, events, and festivals for d/Deaf and Disabled individuals, gathering information from disabled fans, creating a framework for event organisers. Through these efforts Attitude is Everything has played a significant role in shaping accessibility at major music events and festivals across the UK.
We understand that hidden disabilities are not immediately apparent and as a festival, we understand our responsibility to ensure our event is accessible. We will continue to listen to your feedback and make improvements year-on-year to do our best at meeting the needs and requirements for all our customers.
For information on how to buy tickets, plus the access facilities available to festival goers please read the following sections.
Please note: Due to high demand, all access facilities must be requested in advance.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate requests made once on site. We encourage attendees with accessibility needs to reach out to us in advance to discuss their specific requirements, so we can work together to provide the best possible experience.
