Accessibility
For their various events, the KunstFestspiele Herrenhausen actively promote a culture of participation and accessibility.
As many people as possible should have access to the festival's events and we are working on breaking down barriers where they exist. We also recognize that we cannot accommodate all accessibility requirements. In order to further break down barriers, we also depend on your feedback. Please contact us at info@kunstfestspiele.de or call us on +49 511 168 33 811. We look forward to your questions and suggestions!
On the detail pages of the productions in the programme we provide individual information about the duration of performances, language and surtitles, the use of special effects (especially strobe lights) and the accessibility of the venues.
Ticket purchase
There are special seats for wheelchair users at the side of all events. Accompanying wheelchair users and people with severe disabilities receive a free ticket.
For tickets for wheelchair-accessible seats and your companion, please contact info@kunstfestspiele.de or call +49 511 168 33 811.
Venues
All venues, with the exception of the Arne Jacobsen Foyer, provide barrier-reduced access. However, due to the unique productions, the requirements and conditions of the individual venues may change depending on the production. We try to describe the conditions as best as possible on the individual pages of the productions in the programme. Assistance dogs are welcome in all venues. In this case, please provide a relevant certificate of this.
If you have any questions or special requirements, please contact us by phone on +49 511 168 33 811 or write us an email to info@kunstfestspiele.de for detailed arrangements.
If you need assistance on site, please feel free to contact the ticket office or admission staff.
Kulturschlüssel Niedersachsen
Also, KunstFestSpiele is a cultural donor in the project "Kulturschlüssel Niedersachsen" (Cultural Key for Lower Saxony). Kulturschlüssel is intended to give everyone the opportunity to take part in cultural activities: people who, due to a disability, cannot go to KunstFestSpiele events alone or who would rather enjoy cultural events in a group can contact the Kulturschlüssel project. Kulturschlüssel then conveys company.
The project thrives on the so-called Kulturgenießende (culture connoisseurs), Kulturbegleitende (cultural attendants) and Kulturspendende (cultural donors): Kulturgenießende are people with disabilities who would like an accompanying person to take part in an event. Kulturbegleitende are volunteers who provide support before, during and after the event. Kulturspendende are institutions in the fields of culture, leisure and sport that provide tickets for their offers.
