Access ticketing

Access tickets make it easy for our d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse whānau to experience the festival. They are designed to make things easier, more supported, and more flexible, so you can focus on the good stuff. You do not need to provide us with proof of disability or impairment. If an access ticket will make your experience better, it is available to you!

Low income ticketing

We know the real costs of attending a festival extend far beyond the ticket, and recognise that financial inequality shapes who is able to show up, take part, and contribute to the collective spirit of the weekend. For 2026, a limited allocation of reduced-cost tickets is available for people whose financial situation would otherwise prevent them from attending. Follow the link below for Low-Income Ticket information and applications. 

Pre-festival support

Our work on access is ongoing, and your feedback helps us shape it. Before the festival begins, if you have any accessibility requests or feedback about how we can create a better experience, we encourage you to reach out. Our access team will work alongside you to explore solutions and put practical support in place before you arrive. Email our access team at access@twomindsfestival.co.nz

Accessibility features (A-Z)

Accomodation

On-site cabins and studios are available through TOP 10 Spencer Beach Holiday Park. If you require detailed accessibility information for our accommodation options, please contact our access team. For accessibility information on our campsites, see Ease of Access Camping.

Beach access

The Beach Stage is a sober space which runs between 11am – 4pm on Saturday 14 March. This is stage is based on a loose sand beach, which we understand will be inaccessible to many of our festival-goers. 
The festival’s main pathway to Spencer Beach is 0.8 kilometres long and runs through forest and soft sand, which may not be suitable for everyone. If you’d like to use your vehicle to access the beach area, please speak with our staff before you drive. They’ll help coordinate safe vehicle access and timing.

Charging stations

Our Welfare Corner includes standard power outlets for charging mobility devices and other support equipment. If you need to use these facilities or leave anything charging unattended, just chat with our access team onsite.

Companion passes

Every access ticket holder has the option to bring one companion or support person free of charge. Select the companion pass as an add-on when you purchase your ticket, and collect wristbands together at the entry gates on arrival.

Companions can be shared across groups (eg. 6 access customers and 2 companions), by purchasing your tickets together in the same order. If you require more than one companion to access the festival, please let our access team know. 

Ease of access camping

Our ease of access campsite is close to mobility toilets, showers, paved pathways, and camp kitchen. Powered sites can be arranged for accessibility and medical needs. Select the ease of access camping add-on when you purchase your access ticket, and our access team will work with you to sort the campsite layout that best suits your needs.

Event handbook

Before the festival, access ticket holders will receive an Event Handbook. It brings everything you need to know together in one easy place. This includes a summary of all accessibility information, such as what to bring and how to get onsite, to sensory maps and details about accessible facilities.

Grounds and pathways

Our main festival grounds are smooth, level, and suitable for wheelchairs and mobility devices, even in wet weather. Roadways connect all the key areas across the festival and campsite, but travel over grass is required to reach stages, vendors, and facilities. The festival and campground will be well-lit for safety. Our dance floors will not have safety-specific lighting, so please be aware of any tripping hazards on the ground.
 

The Forest Stage is set (you guessed correctly) in a pine forest, which features uneven ground, and tree roots in places. There is a signposted accessible entry to the stage 10-metres to the right of the stage's main entryway, which is flat and cleared of tree roots. 

Welfare Corner

Our welfare corner is available to anyone, whether you need welfare support or just a moment of rest at any point during the festival. This is a large canvas tent with comfortable seating, low lighting and a welcoming atmosphere. Our access team is based here onsite, with charging points and safe storage for mobility or medical equipment, hot drinks, sensory toys, comfort items, weighted blankets and earplugs.
