Access

2020 access applications are now open, please complete your access application by clicking here

Access is extremely important to us at Truck Festival and all events should be accessible for all to enjoy. In 2017 we made it one of our key goals to deliver a show of high enough standard to be certified by Attitude is Everything and we were awarded their Bronze certificate.

In 2018 we followed up the previous year’s success by being certified Silver by Attitude is Everything.

As a festival, we think all events should be accessible and we know that to truly champion accessibility and be one of the industry standard bearers, we need to strive to improve year on year and continue to meet all needs and requirements of all our customers. This is something we are fully committed to doing and will aim to improve for the third successive year and by certified gold by Attitude is Everything

Working with Attitude Is Everything

Having set up as a pilot project in 2000, Attitude is Everything improves Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music by working in partnership with audiences, artists and the music industry. They are now a fully independent charity and encourage events’ producers to go beyond the legal obligations, providing a fair and equal service to their Deaf and disabled customers. Our access team have worked tirelessly to ensure we have the best access possible to all customers and meet the Attitude is Everything criteria.
