Accessibility provisions in place include a dedicated disability entrance with ramp. Stewards will guide you to the viewing area. These provisions are based on visitor feedback and we're always looking at how we can improve.

We recommend dressing your young ones in bright clothing and if possible putting a copy of your contact details in their pockets just in case. Our event team is fully briefed and has systems in place to ensure the safe return of your children in the unlikely event they are lost.
