GENERAL EVENT ACCESSIBILITY

Battersea Park Comedy Festival is a series of adult and family comedy shows staged inside a Big Top Tent on a flat, grassy area of Battersea Park. The Big Top will hold up to approximately 1,000 people per show, in pre-booked standard folding event chairs along with pre-bookable wheelchair user spaces.

The Event Entrance will be located just off Central Drive (a hardstanding path) around 60m from the Big Top, over grass.  

Accessible Toilets will be located adjacent to standard toilets in the Festival Garden, around 70m from the Big Top, over grass.
