Welcome to Access-i

Ronquières Festival 2023

Strong points

Once again this year, the Ronquières Festival is pursuing its commitment to welcoming people with special needs in the best possible conditions. The following adaptations are planned

  • reserved parking near the Tribord entrance on rue de Rosemont
  • volunteers on hand as soon as you arrive to direct you to the entrances
  • Easier exchange of your ticket for a wristband on the TRIBORD side: you will be guided from the car park to the wristband exchange point and then to the entrance gantry (the left-hand lane is wider and dedicated to PRMs).
  • Both stages will be equipped with a PRM podium, with volunteers on hand to help you if you need it.
  • A pathway with tread plates to make it easier to get around.
  • A PRM stand next to the entrances, where you'll find wheelchairs if you need them, crutches, an adapted toilet, a fridge, the possibility of recharging the batteries in your chair or mobile phone, and lockers.
  • Adapted toilets throughout the site, particularly near the PRM podiums.
  • helmets and earplugs available at the Solidaris stand or the PRM stand.
  • The site map is displayed in several places.

Points of attention

  • The PRM podium for the Colline stage is on a slope. The current access path requires long journeys.
  • Please note: we advise you to use the treaded paths as the grass is very bumpy (rutted).
  • Areas not served by tarmac: BAR BOSQUET and BABORD CLUB.
