Event accessibility
Utilita Creation Day is a two day festival in West Park, Wolverhampton. Whilst West Park is a beautifully landscaped green space with hard-standing pathways it should be noted that the majority of the festival will be located on grass terrain which may require care to negotiate depending on weather and ground conditions.

Utilita Creation Day Festival will be split into two main grass arenas. Creation Arena will hold the stage and audience, including the accessible viewing platform, a bar and toilets, while Creation Village will contain the VIP area, food and merchandise stalls, toilets, welfare, first aid, attractions and entertainment.

The viewing platform and disabled toilets are accessed from the disabled car park via pathways suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

A site map and information on the distances and surface conditions between accessible areas will be added to this page closer to the event.

Bookable access facilities and Essential Companion tickets
Accessible tickets for the viewing platform and car park can be purchased online from Ticketmaster. Start your booking and follow the instructions via the accessible icon.

Free Essential Companion tickets are available to customers who can provide proof of eligibility.

Accessible customers that are allocated a free Essential Companion ticket will receive a lanyard for their companion to enable them to swap the person who joins them on the viewing platform.

The viewing platform and disabled car park have limited capacity and spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Once capacity for the viewing platform is reached you can still purchase accessible tickets and apply for a free Essential Companion ticket which will give you access to the fast-track entry gate and disabled toilets.

The VIP area is accessed and located on grass terrain which may require care to negotiate and/or be unsuitable for wheelchair and mobility scooters depending on weather and ground conditions.

You will need send supporting documents for accessible and Essential Companion tickets to Ticketmaster after you’ve made your booking. Your order may be cancelled if no supporting documentation is provided.
