Event Accessibility
We aim to organise the festival events in venues that can be accessed with wheelchair so that everyone can participate in the festival whatever their functional capacity or personal characteristics. Here you can find any exceptions and notions about the venues in accessibility point of view.
Accessibility information for the 2025 festival venues will be updated on this page in August.
We will keep updating this page and are also happy to hear your development ideas related to the accessibility information. The accessibility of the art works and performances varies depending on each event. On each event page we have described the participation of the audience and informed about specialities under the title Participation. Always feel free to contact us, if something is left unclear.
