ACCESSIBILITY 

The festival is presenting nearly 50 events, 35 of which are free. All the other events require tickets: regular and reduced. Reduced tickets are available to students, schoolchildren and seniors. Carers of people with disabilities are entitled to free admission passes for all the ticketed events. 

The Festival Centre at the Arkadia building is partially adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. However, for the duration of the festival we are removing some of the architectural barriers by putting in temporary ramps in place of thresholds and steps. We are also providing staff ready to assist with mobility. There is an underground carpark under Wolności Square, and a carpark for people with limited mobility in the immediate vicinity of the Arkadia building. There are also public transport stops nearby, adapted for people with special needs.

The performances by Sergey Shabohin and Igor Shugaleev, Choy Ka Fai and the I, Şeküre concert will feature Polish and English subtitles to assist not only deaf and hard of hearing people, but also for non-Polish speakers. Some of the events are organised in closed venues at the Zamek Cultural Centre and Pawilon, where there are no architectural barriers. Moreover, these venues offer facilities for people with disabilities, including a toilet and lift on level 0, as well as a wheelchair ramp. Parking spaces are located in the vicinity.
