Access for disabled and reduced mobility
The Church is wheelchair accessible but please email us once you have made a booking so we can reserve a space for you. Unfortunately the Town Hall is not, It is an old building with many steps, but depending on your disability it may be possible to gain access from the rear of the building with the help of our stewards. If you need assistance please email us so we can make arrangements for you. There is a Hearing Loop in the Church and Town Hall.
Seating
The first few rows in the Town Hall and the Fowey Parish Church will be reserved for Friends of the Festival.
Events held in Fowey Parish Church
The wonderful Fowey Parish Church is an old building with magnificent stonework pillars. As a result, some seats have a restricted view of the stage area. It is advisable to remember this when attending events in the church, particularly those that are in high demand. Seats are reserved for Friends of the Festival however the rest of the seating is on a first-come, first served basis. The stone construction of the church does mean it can get a little cold, so you may wish to bring warm clothing when attending an event. Also for comfort, you may wish to bring a cushion to use on the wooden pew seating.
Dogs
The team at the du Maurier Festival Society love dogs, but we do not accept them (or any other pet) in the Festival venues as we need to look at the comfort of all our Festival visitors. We do of course welcome Registered Assistance Dogs.
Toilet facilities
Toilet facilities are available at all venues. The Parish Church, has only one toilet, (up a few steps) but there are also the public conveniences at ground level, just beyond the Church gates (20p). There are toilets within the Town Hall, but, in addition, the public conveniences are situated at the foot of the Fowey Town Hall steps at Ground Level. (20p).
