Medical and welfare facilities are available at the First Aid tent in the main arena - between 11:30am and Midnight - to provide first aid, minor casualty and resuscitation. They have details of emergency dentists and local pharmacies.
Stewards and security are also on hand and where possible, can offer you help and support if you are unwell or require assistance.
If you need to be accompanied by an assistance dog, please provide evidence that your dog is registered with an organisation that is a member of Assistance Dogs UK.
Temporary impairments will be considered at our discretion, on a case-by-case basis. Please e-mail us at access@steelhouselive.co.uk if you have any specific requirements you would like us to consider.
The Steelhouse Festival offers free Personal Assistant (PA) entry if someone is unable to attend the Festival without support and is age 15 or over (all children aged 14 and under are required to be accompanied by an adult as a condition of attending the Festival). The support needed must be significant and substantial and in excess of what could be reasonably expected of family/friends already accompanying you. The support must be due to disability-related needs.
The person you choose to attend with you as a PA should be willing and able to assist you throughout your visit and would be available to help you in an evacuation or emergency.
Once you have purchased your ticket, you must register for ‘PA’ entry and any other facilities you require. Your PA entry approval will not be a physical ticket – you will need to bring your Approval email to the Festival with you and show it at the Box Office to obtain the relevant wristbands. You may also be asked for ID. However, please be aware that both yourself and your Carer will need to purchase the relevant Camping Ticket/Campervan Pass.
Please refer to the Access Requirements Form for the specific evidence required for each facility being requested.
Both your completed Access Requirements Form and proof of disability will need to be received together, in order to be reviewed.
You can send your completed Access Requirements Form and proof of disability back to us, by any of the following methods:
E-mail: access@steelhouselive.co.uk
Post: Unit 15 Cwm Business Centre, Cwm, Ebbw Vale, Gwent NP23 7TB.
We will review your Access Requirements Form and come back to you within 2 weeks of receiving it.
Deadline for applications:
Monday 30th June 2025
ACCESSIBILITY POLICY & ACCESS REQUIREMENTS FORM 2025
We will endeavour to ensure all facilities are accessible, however, visitors should bear in mind that this Festival is on a working farm at the top of a mountain. The site is mostly grassed and has natural inclines and dips. During inclement weather these can become boggy and some areas of the site may not be suitable for wheelchairs. However, our stewards are on hand at all times and will be happy to assist wherever possible.
In order for us to provide the best possible service and to ensure there will be space to accommodate you, please assist us by letting us know your specific access requirements in advance (see Accessibility Policy document attached below).
The Festival site is relatively compact, with the maximum distance from the Accessible Car Park to the Arena entrance being approximately 50metres. The distance from the Arena entrance to the stage is approximately 150metres.
Trackmatting and Trakway is laid out around the arena to facilitate movement.
All performances take place in one main Arena. The Arena entrance is located approximately 10metres away from the Accessible Campsite and accessible Live-In Vehicles site. Within the Arena, unisex accessible toilets are provided.
You are permitted to bring chairs into the arena.
The Festival has a dedicated Accessible Car Park for Blue Badge Holders/Approved users, which is situated approximately 50metres from the Arena entrance.
We will endeavour to provide assistance in carrying camping equipment/baggage etc. from the Accessible Car Park to the Accessible Campsite. However, this cannot be guaranteed.
The Accessible Campsite is situated adjacent to the arena entrance. Unisex accessible toilets are provided in this Campsite as well as a general toilet for those without accessibility issues. Shower facilities are situated within this site.
Please also be mindful when pitching your tent to allow space for fellow campers to maneuverer around the area.
The Accessible Live-In Site is now located adjacent to the arena entrance.
You will need to let a steward on duty be aware that you are approved to use this area and be prepared to present your authorisation email if requested.
There is not a separate accessible area within Glamping. However, if you could indicate on your Access Requirements Form that you are in this area, we can ask for you to be located as close to the entrance as possible.
There will be an Accessible Toilet within this field.
A small viewing platform situated in the main arena is available for wheelchair users and their PA's only.
If approved, you will issued a wristband for you and your PA, which will be checked by a steward before gaining access to the platform.
