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.

Tickets for wheelchair-accessible seats and your companion are available at the HAZ & NP advance booking offices.

 

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.

Tactile tour

The Elle Sofe Company offers a tactile tour prior to the performance of Vástádus eana – The answer is land. The tour is aimed at all audience members who benefit from the direct experience of the stage space and from touching the materials and costume elements. This may apply to visually impaired people or people who need to be particularly attuned to the experience of what is happening on stage in advance of the performance. If there is enough space, everyone interested is very much invited.

Admission with event ticket. Due to limited space, please register at info@kunstfestspiele.de  or +49 511 168 33 811. Feel free to give details of any special needs.
