Anyone turning up on the day without making prior arrangements to use the accessibility campsite may not be able to access our facilities. However, we will always try to accommodate any late requests.
PARTY SIZE:
The accessible campsite is strictly prioritized to accommodate 1 guest and 1 carer per application. If you're coming in a larger group, you may request additional guests to camp with you, however, this will be looked at on a case-by-case basis and no guarantees can be made they will be allowed. We must put the needs of guests who need this service first.
VIEWING PLATFORM:
There will be a Platform Manager based in the Arena who can assist with any problems or queries. There is limited access to the viewing platforms. Access is provided on a first-come-first-served basis. Access customers are welcome to bring their own chairs. Personal Assistants are welcome to use the platforms unless an access customer requires the space. The viewing platforms have a limited capacity and are strictly for access customers plus 1 PA only, subject to capacity. There is a wheelchair-accessible ramp at the viewing platform.
ACCESSIBLE CAMPSITE:
The Accessible Campsite is available to customers who require accessible facilities. By locating these facilities in one campsite we can ensure that they are serviced, cleaned and maintained regularly.
The campsite is located as close as possible to the arena and is staffed by the Access Team 24 hours a day throughout the event. Security personnel and stewards are also based on the campsite. We can't provide power to your tents, but we can recharge various batteries and equipment for you on request.
Please note that submission by email alone does not automatically guarantee eligibility for the use of the accessible facilities.
If you have any queries about eligibility, please contact us before purchasing your ticket at info@jamesdeanevents.com

SUSTAINABILITY
JAMES DEAN EVENTS HAS A ZERO-WASTE-TO-LANDFILL POLICY
Willshees waste and recycling place the skips onto the customer sites at various locations. The waste is classified as general waste. This Year we also provided the site with RELs for the waste.
The site and the festival-goers, fill these skips with general waste, ranging from Food, glass, plastic, cardboard, paper and general waste.
Willshees then collects these skips and they are taken to our own MRF (Material recycling facility) Once these are around on site, all material is dropped into the tipping hall.
The grab driver will access the waste and look immediately for any large recyclable waste that he can pick out before we start the shredding process.
The waste is then loaded into our shredder where the waste is shredded and passes into a facility where it is subjected to a vigorous waste screening procedure, that looks to Recycle, Reuse and Recover.
All three of these steps, allow us to make sure we are 100% zero waste to landfill. The first 2, recycle or re-use are our main concentration, with the recover option as a viable alternative to landfill.
Recover, essentially means waste to energy.
All the materials that can be recycled and re-used are housed in their locations within our MRF to allow for the tonnages to build up, these are then transferred to various recycling centres around the UK, to go back into the UK market.
All waste that is taken from the festival sites by Willshee’s is Zero waste to landfill.
