As many music fans as possible should be able to visit our festival. Therefore, we make every effort to ensure that our guests with disabilities can also enjoy a relaxed and unforgettable festival visit. In perspective, we want to make our festival better and more accessible year after year. We are always happy to receive ideas and suggestions at barrierefrei@hurricane.de.

Arrival by car

If you want to arrive by car, you have the possibility to park at the "Special Needs Camp" and camp right next to your car. There is also the possibility for day guests, or people who are not staying over night at the camp site, to park here. 
Please note that only one vehicle per group is allowed. 

To take advantage of this offer, please fill out our registration form under the heading "Registration". 

If you are brought by car, please contact us and we can give you an alternative to the general bring & pick up parking.

Arrival by train

At the train station Scheeßel, there is an elevator, tactile guidance systems and a digital train display. 

Please note that there is no regular bus shuttle from Scheeßel station to the festival area. 

You can find more general information on how to get there HERE. 

For the Hurricane Festival you need a regular festival pass, which you can easily buy in our ticket store. 

If you have a "B", "H" or "Bl" in your disabled pass, you can take an accompanying person to the festival free of charge – they don't need their own festival pass. 

To make your festival experience as comfortable as possible, we want to make sure that there is enough space and enough sanitary facilities at the Special Needs Camp. 
Therefore, registration to use the Special Needs Camp is mandatory from this year on. 
Please note that you can only use the camp if you have registered with us beforehand.

If you are unable to fill out the form, please contact us by email (barrierefrei@hurricane.de). Registration closes two weeks before the start of the event; late registration is not possible.

You have registered yourself and your friends for the Special Needs Camp? Then come all together to one of our counters. There you will receive your festival wristbands, the carpass and further information. 

Note: You and your friends all of you need an own festival pass - except for the free accompanying person.

We recommend the counter in Westervesede, it is accessible at ground level and there are parking spaces. 

If you arrive by train in Scheeßel, you can also come to the counter at the ticket office / bands west. However, this is located on a meadow, there is no paved road and you cannot reach it by car.

You will get a detailed info where the counters are and how to reach them from us by email a few days before the festival.

You do NOT want to stay overnight or park at the Special Needs Camp, but you bring a free companion? You can come to any of our admissions and receive your festival wristbands there. To do so, simply bring your ticket and your severely disabled ID. Please note that we can only check in your companion if they arrive together with you. 

If you have any questions about the tickets, the admission or the visit of the Hurricane Festival, please contact us by mail: barrierefrei@hurricane.de or by phone via our hotline: 01806 853 333 (Mon. - Fri. 11:00 - 15:00 / 0,20 €/call from landline, mobile max. 0,60 €/call).

In order to make the festival visit as pleasant as possible for our guests with disabilities, we have created the "Special Needs Camp". In order to use this offer, it is necessary to fill out our registration form under the point "Registration". In addition to the person accompanying you, you can bring up to three other friends with a valid festival pass to the "Special Needs Camp". In total, a group size of up to five people is allowed. 

In order to charge your medical, electronic aids, there is a power outlet at the "Special Needs Camp". The nearest power outlet may be a bit far away, so please bring an outdoor-suitable extension cord (50 m) for this purpose.*
Please note that the "Special Needs Camp" is explicitly a voluntary service for our guests with disabilities. 

In general, you are welcome to camp on the regular sites. Please note, however, that there are only limited sanitary facilities for disabled people and there are no electricity connections. The trails can also be relatively long.
 

*Please note that we can only provide electricity (240 volts) up to the distribution box, which can be located up to 50 meters away from your campsite. Use is only permitted for charging medically necessary equipment. For safety reasons, we must limit the maximum power of each outlet to 1,000 watts. The power is generated locally and is therefore susceptible to interference and voltage fluctuations. We assume no liability for the use of the power source or for any defects in equipment caused by voltage fluctuations or outages. We reserve the right to (temporarily) interrupt the power supply during extreme weather conditions for safety reasons. 

Our PLATIN LOUNGE by Zeppelin Rental consists of two floors, which are connected by a staircase.

The Hurricane takes place outdoors on meadows and fields. The terrain may be sandy, muddy or stony in some places. 

On the event area (infield) cable bridges will be laid in places. We try to lay flatter cable bridges on the main paths to make the paths more comfortable for you, but this is not possible everywhere on the terrain. However, there is usually always an alternative path to avoid cable bridges. 

In front of the Forest, River and Mountain Stage you will find a platform for wheelchair users with a maximum of one accompanying person. The platform is accessible via a ramp. Depending on the occupancy, guests who have a disability but not a wheelchair can also stay there. In the immediate vicinity of the platforms, you will also find wheelchair accessible portable toilets, for our guests with a disability.

On the "Special Needs Camp" you will find a handicapped accessible sanitary station. This has step-free access, a spacious water-flushed toilet and a barrier-free shower.

On the campgrounds and the infield, you can find a wheelchair accessible portable toilet at each sanitary station. These are accessible by wheelchair at ground level and are slightly larger to allow transfer from/to wheelchairs. 

You can bring your medication to the festival without any problems. A doctor's certificate of necessity for prescription medications ensures that you can bring them to the festival and event area. 

Medication that needs to be kept refrigerated can be left with the medical staff in the medical tents. The medications will be stored safely for you.

It is possible that strobe and lighting effects will be used in the shows, which may cause epileptic seizures in some people.

We offer a telephone information service for festival guests with and without disabilities during the festival. If you need information or help during the festival and the information point is too far away, you are welcome to call the support hotline (+49 (0) 800 444 2014). Our team will take care of your request as soon as possible.

Our security service is there to help you with words and deeds. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason or need help, our staff, recognizable by their red vests, will be happy to assist you. There are also paramedics on site who can help you at any time. 

In case of a medical emergency, call 112 – if you don't have a cell phone, ask others to make the emergency call or talk to a steward. 

For the protection of your pet and other visitors, assistance dogs are unfortunately not allowed.
