Access
Next Wave is committed to offering a range of access services so everyone can enjoy the Festival. We believe that disability is caused by a society and environment with physical, attitudinal, communication, and social barriers. It’s our responsibility to create a festival that reduces these barriers to enable full participation by all people.
Next Wave adopts a range of initiatives that aim to reduce barriers and support our artists, venues and partners to deliver events that are accessible. We encourage you to call or email us if you have any questions about accessibility or would like to discuss your requirements with us.
