Accessible Viewing Areas
There are various accessible viewing areas available within the arena.

Raised Viewing Platforms
Raised viewing platforms are available for wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility. Access to the platforms will be approved as part of your application.

Please note that the Raised Viewing Platforms are at capacity. If you would usually be approved to use this facility, you will be added to a standby list and we will contact you if a space becomes available.

Only the approved customer and their essential companion (or friend) will have access to the raised viewing platforms. This allows us to accommodate as many customers, who require use of this facility, as possible.

All raised viewing platforms have ramped access, wheelchair-accessible toilets, charging points, drinking water and a dedicated platform manager.

Limited seating is also available at each platform. We will be providing chairs that have a load-bearing capacity of 250 pounds (approximately 18 stone). If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please get in touch with us at accessibility@statefayre.com

Raised viewing platforms may get busy. Please note that these are operated on a first come first served basis.

Some raised viewing platforms are not covered so please dress appropriately for all weather conditions.

Ground Viewing Areas

These are primarily standing areas, although limited seating is available and is operated on a first come first served basis.
