Accessibility at the Festival
We are committed to making the Jewellery Quarter Festival as accessible as possible.
Step-free access routes are available into St Paul’s Square, Golden square and Warstone lane Cemetery and throughout the event site; however, please note that this is a historic outdoor green space, and some grassed areas have natural gradients and uneven ground.
Accessible toilets are available within Golden Square,Warstone Lane Cemetery and St Paul’s Square, including facilities near the stage and inside St Paul’s Church.
Stewards will be on hand throughout the event to assist visitors, provide directions and support access where needed. Visitors are welcome to bring folding chairs for additional comfort.
Blue Badge parking cannot be reserved, as parking around St Paul’s Square is on the public highway, but Blue Badge holders can use available on-street parking in accordance with local restrictions.

If you have any questions about accessibility or would like to discuss your visit before the event, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
