Our events take place in a number of locations around the town:
We aspire to be as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you need further information please email todmordenfolkfestival@gmail.com
Level Access
All our venues and box offices have level access and are wheelchair accessible. Central Methodist Church has an accessible lift to the concert area.
Wheelchair Spaces
All our venues can accommodate wheelchair users. Please contact us if you would like to notify us prior to an event that you require this.
Seating
We provide seating for all indoor concert venues. Please note there is no seating available at the Oxford Street Stage but you are welcome to bring your own fold-out seating if preferred. Please also note that the Unitarian Church has non-padded wooden pews and can be chilly. We strive to provide blankets if needed, but it is advisable to wear warm clothing.
Toilets
All our venues apart from the Oxford Street Stage, have access to an accessible toilet. On Saturday, visitors to Pollination Street can use the accessible toilet at Central Methodist Church. We provide additional Portaloo facilities, including an accessible Portaloo, at the Unitarian Church. The toilets at the Unitarian Church are gender neutral. Other venues may display gendered signs. We wish for everyone to use the toilet they feel comfortable in. Please use the washroom you prefer and please respect the choice of others.
