Accessibility information, about our concert events:
We want our Wild Live concerts to be enjoyable and accessible for everyone.
Given the style of our concerts, the audience typically either stands, or sits on picnic blankets. We encourage everyone to bring your own portable seating / small fold-out chairs if required.
The site we use for the event is a green field – it’s a grass surface and doesn’t have any pathways. Mostly, the area is reasonably flat and even, as it’s regularly used for car parking. Nevertheless, please consider the ground conditions, and the possible impact of the changeable British weather, when deciding what facilities or equipment you wish to bring.
The entrance to the concert area is approximately a 25-minute walk from the new main entrance and car parks to the concert field. Guests with a blue badge will be able to park adjacent to the concert field in the stage side car park. Guests with mobility issues who do not have a blue badge are recommended to purchase a Stage Parking pass.
Please note: Blue Badge Parking must be parked no later than 4:00pm. Any arrivals after this time will not be able to access parking.
Complimentary car parking is provided at the Wildlife Park main entrance (Hurst Lane, Auckley, DN9 3HQ). This car park is approximately a 20-minute walk through the Park from the concert field.
Concert parking can be purchased in advance at an additional cost of £20.00 per vehicle and MUST be parked before 4:00pm when entry to the carpark will close. It can be accessed at any time from 9:45am for entry to the Wildlife Park.
No dogs will be allowed inside the concert field. As the welfare of animals is one of our key objectives, we do not allow pets to be left in vehicles and the authorities will be advised of any animals left in cars.
A bar is located just outside the event field. Due to licensing restriction we cannot have a bar directly on the event field.
Glass is not permitted on the show field. Anyone bringing a glass bottle onto site will be asked to decant into a plastic cup. Please do not bring any other glass items including drinking glasses into the field.
Foldable low back picnic chairs and picnic blankets are allowed. No tables or other equipment is permitted. Chairs will not be allowed immediately in front of the stage or section barriers due to safety for the safety of guests who choose to stand.
Accessible Tickets - There will be a raised seated viewing area to the side of the stage (the “Accessible Area”) available for those who need to remain seated during the show and for whom the standard viewing areas are not suitable (for example. wheelchair users). There are limited tickets available for the Accessible Area, and once the Accessible Area is full, we will not be able to provide access for further guests. Please note that if you purchase an Accessible Area ticket, you will be required to remain seated throughout the performance. To reserve a space in the Accessible Area, subject to availability, please call Yorkshire Wildlife Park 01302 535057 during opening hours to speak with a member of our contact centre team.
Due to the limited space, guests using the Accessible Area may be accompanied by one other person only (who will also be required to remain seated throughout the performance to avoid obstructing the view for the other guests in the Accessible Area). Proof of disability will be required to provide you with access to the Accessible Area.
An accessible toilet will be located close by, and there will be a large screen which will be showing close-ups of the acts as they perform.
Concession Tickets - You can purchase a concession ticket which will allow you access to the Standard and Premium areas depending on the type of ticket you have purchased. Please note that a concession ticket does not provide you with access to the Accessible Area. To sit in the Accessible Area, you will need to purchase an Accessible Ticket.
Proof of disability will also be required for those who purchase a concession ticket.
Customers are advised that strobe and other lighting effects may be used during the performance.
Chairs including wheelchairs will not be permitted in front of stage or section barriers due to safety. If you require the accessible platform please call Yorkshire Wildlife Park 01302 535057
We class a senior concession rate to be for people aged 65 and over.
Standard and accessible port-a toilets will be provided within the concert field.
We do kindly request that you do not bring with you a banner or flag as this will hinder capacity and people’s view of the stage.
Pull along trolleys will not be allowed on the show field for safety reasons. If you need to bring a trolley there will be trolley parking points located outside the venue for you to leave your trolleys in.
Awnings, gazebos or other tents of any kind are not allowed. These are likely to block the view of other guests.
There are no ATM machines at the venue. However, all outlets accept card, contactless and mobile payments. There is a cash back facility in the Safari Store retail stores inside the Wildlife park.
Photography / video taken at Yorkshire Wildlife Park cannot be used for any commercial purpose. Professional photographic equipment, video cameras, or audio recording devices are not allowed within the concert field. The use of Aerial Drones, radio-controlled helicopters and UAV devices of any design and configuration are strictly prohibited due to local air traffic restrictions.

Bikes are left at the owner’s risk. We do not provide facilities to recharge mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs.
To avoiding blocking the view for other audience members, it is better to bring a coat with a hood. Large golfing type umbrellas are not allowed in the concert field.
