Accessibility

We try to make the tall ships as accessible as possible for people with all disabilities. Each wristband allows for a Carer to go free.

If you have a specific disability that you require any help with, please get in touch at: info@marketinggloucester.co.uk

We are delighted to welcome the Willow Trust to this year’s festival which has fully accessible boats, please visit their website for more information.

Please see below for a brief guide on the information we have regarding your needs.
