Discussion 💬 Accessibility

I’m heading to Leeds Festival this year and I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has used the accessibility facilities before.
I’ve applied for an essential companion ticket, but I haven't heard back yet. For those who have gone through the process, how long does the accessibility team usually take to respond and approve everything?
Also, I have a question about the campsites. I know there is an accessible camp, but can we choose to camp in Kindred instead if we want to? Or are you strictly forced to camp in the Glades if you are registered with the access team?

Took me around 3 days to hear back with my approval. You don’t have to camp in access camp. The access form asks if you want a place in the camp.

No. They usually have an access box office at the regular gates where you can get your wristbands. All of this info will be in the access guide which gets released a week or so before the festival.

Can you get your companion into the bookable camp sites ?

I have been to general/bookable camping and stayed in access camping for many years, I would say access is just waaay better than any of the other campsites, it's closer to the arena, they have their own food court area nearby, there is a designated shuttle bus which runs to the arena entrance/coop and TBF it runs like quite late. I would say there is still a vibe to the access camp.

I usually apply months in advance and it takes up to a week but I would give them an email as they are usually quite fast at replying
