DHE ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility support service

At Dancehall Episode, no matter how big or small your needs may be, we are committed to being inclusive and ensuring everyone can attend our Weekender confidently and get the whole experience. 

 

Our 'Accessibility support service' enables those with specific medical needs or conditions or those who are less able or disabled to request assistance for all events and excursions or certain aspects of the Weekender. The 'Accessibility support service' comes in various forms and may look like additional support entering and exiting our events or venues across the Weekender, queue jump for those who have mobility issues, wheelchair access, specific seating requirements at events, medical support, bathroom access, and more. As part of our accessibility promise, we prioritise training our staff to respond in the most discrete, practical and understanding ways possible, no matter the size or type of your needs.
