Quieter Areas
Illuminate is a fun place to be, however we understand that some families supporting people with a disability may have to plan their day more carefully to ensure there is a quiet time and space to relax. We understand that some people with physical disabilities requiring a wheelchair, or people suffering invisible disabilities such as autism may find the environment more challenging.
Whilst everyone is welcome to attend the festival, if you prefer a quiet area this can be located under the large awning o the outskirts of the sports field.
We also encourage Carers to bring their own noise cancellation headphones, ear plugs or devices to help people with are unable to cope with the noise generated at busy places and amusement rides.
