Accessibility

Mountain Writers Festival is committed to ensuring our festival is a welcoming and accessible space for everyone. If you have any questions or feedback about accessibility at the festival, please feel very welcome to chat directly to our staff and volunteers or send us an email at ticketing@mountainfestival.com.au

Access Tickets

Thanks to a generous donation from a member of our local community, we are able to offer a limited number of access tickets to the festival this year. These tickets are reserved for anyone who would not be able to attend the festival otherwise - including concession card holders, people with disabilities or chronic illness, and anyone experiencing financial barriers to access.

We have 5 day passes to each day of the festival (Saturday & Sunday), 2 double passes to Opening Night and 5 double passes to The Village Square.

To book these tickets, please email us directly at ticketing@mountainfestival.com.au and let us know what you would like to attend!

Venues and Physical Access

All primary festival venues are step-free and wheelchair accessible. Detailed information about all our festival venues is available below. You can also ask for specific access accommodations when booking your ticket.

Seating

Accessible seating options are available near the front and along the main aisles of each venue, with seating reserved for companions.

Toilets

Our main venues have gender-neutral, wheelchair-accessible restrooms - with the exception of Squishy Minnie Bookstore. The nearest wheelchair-accessible bathroom is the public toilet across the road (map here).

Parking & Drop-off

Designated accessible parking spaces are located outside all our venues next to the main entrance.

Companion Card Tickets

We offer complimentary tickets for support workers or companions accompanying a ticket holder with a disability. Please note in the ‘accessibility’ section when you purchase your ticket that you require a companion card holder ticket, and we will issue one to you via the email address you booked with.
