Welcome to Access-i

Ronquières Festival 2024

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: there will be wheelchair access from the car park, through the wristband exchange and then to the entrance gantry (wider left-hand lane dedicated to PRMs).
  • Both stages will be equipped with a PRM podium, with volunteers on hand to help you if you need it.
  • Pathways 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.
  • Easy payment with the Cashless system. Recharge via the app on your smartphone.
  • Helmets and earplugs available from the Solidaris stand or the PRM stand.
  • The site map is displayed in several places.

Points of attention

  • Please note that weather conditions may make it difficult to move around the festival (muddy ground).
  • The PRM podium for the Colline stage is on a slope. The access path will require the help of volunteers.
  • Please note: we advise you to use the paths with tread plates, as the grass is very dented (rutted).
