Accessible Festivals & Events

Access the full potential of your festivals and events.

Designed for Festival and Event Organisers, this course outlines achievable and effective ways to help ensure your team is prepared and confident to cater for everyone – including the 1 in 5 Australians living with disability.

Covering everything from planning and programming to ticketing and front of house, this workshop has been designed by arts experts and festival-goers with lived experience of disability.

In 90 minutes, you’ll learn about how to implement proven solutions so you can confidently plan an accessible event that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Learn about:

• Choosing a Venue
• Designing Access Maps and Guides
• Assessing Spaces through Disability-Led Consultation
• Programming Artists with Disability
• Accessible Marketing and Promotions
• Signage and Collateral

You’ll also be provided with a useful checklist to help you and your team cover all areas of access.
