Disabled access?The George

Access. Due to the nature of the site, people with restricted mobility and wheelchair users may have difficulty in accessing all area of the festival. The entire site is approximately half a mile across and consists of various fields connected by a combination of gateways and paths through hedgerows. We do not wish to turn anyone away from the event as everyone is welcome but as the event is free entry and self funding we simply do not have the finance, nor authority from land owners, to make the entire site wheelchair accessible. We hope you are able to attend and to enjoy the festival. If do experience difficulties we would love some feedback on realistic ways that we can make the event more accessible.

Parking. If you require wheel chair access we would recommend using one of the permanent car parks within the town as the public car park at the site is no more than a farm field. We should point out that parking for the participants is also in farm fields. If you require close parking we recommend that you assess the situation on the day as you may wish to drop off your disabled party at the festival entrance or you may find the car parking field close enough for your needs.

I intend to bring black powder or other explosives is there anything I should be aware of?

As we have had in previous years there will be a powder store.
All black powder should be deposited in said store and will be issued shortly before each required use.
Please contact either Maria Dobinson-Dines of the Gun Company or organisers of Tewkesbury Medieval Festival within a reasonable amount of time after arriving on site.
There is also a dedicated camping area for gun crews away from other re-enactors. Ask for directions when you arrive.
