General Information about the site

The festival grounds are located in a natural area of grassy fields and pine trees. The terrain is somewhat hilly, but prepared paths and gravel roads improve accessibility. The road leading to the festival grounds is paved.

Please note that there is some risk of punctures. If you use a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or other mobility aid with pneumatic tyres, we recommend bringing any spare parts you may need.

Traffic & Parking

Temporary parking restrictions are in place throughout the village and along the riverbank during the festival to ensure access for emergency vehicles. The main visitor car park is located near the church, approximately 700 metres from the festival grounds, between the church and Route 90, next to Sigge's Family Campsite. There is plenty of parking available. For more information, please see the Getting to Näsåker page.

Cars are not permitted within the festival grounds or surrounding residential areas during the festival. In special circumstances, vehicle permits may be granted to allow drop-off and pick-up of visitors with mobility disabilities at the festival entrance.

Accessible Toilets

There are three accessible toilets within the festival grounds: two near the entrance and one near Solscenen (behind the Information Booth). The latter is a portable accessible toilet. An additional accessible toilet is available at Markusgården in the village.

Stages

The Main Stage is located in the amphitheatre and can be reached by stairs or a gravel road. A ramp provides access to the large dance floor in front of the stage. Wheelchair users also have access to a viewing platform with a good view of the amphitheatre and stage. Solscenen is a smaller stage located near the food stalls and Information Desk, above the amphitheatre area. There is no wooden deck in front of the stage, and the ground may become uneven during the festival. However, there is plenty of seating available nearby. Danslogen has ramps at the entrances and seating along the walls. Näsåker Church is wheelchair accessible and equipped with a hearing loop.

Spaces for workshops and other activities

Visitors can take part in workshops, film screenings, talks, and other activities held at various locations throughout the festival. The cinema at Markusgården has a sloping floor and no stairs, making it possible to position a wheelchair beside the seating rows. If you would like a reserved space, please contact the Festival Office at Markusgården in advance. The dance hall at Markusgården is located at ground level and is wheelchair accessible. Församlingshemmet is located along a paved street and has ramp access. If you wish to participate in courses and have any special needs just let us know when you sign up for the activity so that we can provide the best possible support.
