Public transport:

The event is easily accessible by train, tram and bus. You arrive in the middle of the event. This is therefore the most appropriate way to come to Ostend at anchor.

Accessibility of the site:

• The pontoon at the Visserskaai is accessible for people in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, for safety reasons, the other pontoons are not.
• Assistance dogs that are recognizable as such are welcome on almost the entire site. For safety reasons, it is not recommended to walk on the pontoons with an assistance dog.
• Most positions are accessible for wheelchair users, but some thresholds may be too high. If there is a need for support, be sure to contact one of the volunteers. These are recognizable by their red pants with a t-shirt from Oostende at Anker.

Sanitary:

There is a toilet for wheelchair users in the sanitary block on the Kapellebrug and in the station. These are also indicated by arrows on the site.

Fewer stimuli:
Would you rather come when it is a bit quieter? Then come on Thursday or Friday in the morning. On weekends it is also quieter in the morning.
