General Event Accessibility 

Country on the Common is a fully standing, open-air event, set on a greenfield area within Tooting Common.   

The site is largely flat but may be muddy under foot in the case of rain.   

Hard standing park paths lead to the event entrance from local roads and Blue Badge parking area, however the event arena itself is grassy throughout.  

While the event arena will be designed with plenty of space to spread out in to, certain areas of the event may feel busy and crowded to some.

Enable are committed to reducing the Carbon-footprint and environmental impact of our events. Wandsworth Borough Council have pledged to be carbon-neutral by 2030, and to help them achieve this we are implementing a number of measures to ensure we are as sustainable as possible during the event.   

Here’s what we’re doing:  

• We’ll be using the permanent mains power installed on the Common wherever possible to reduce our use of generators  

• As part of our strategy to help us reduce waste and increase recycling, we are working with a specialist waste contractor to ensure all waste is sorted and recycled where possible, and no waste goes to landfill  

• We’re providing freshwater points on-site to encourage the use of refillable water bottles by attendees 

• There will be no single-use plastic used on site. This includes not selling single use plastic products from our merch point and using reusable cable ties around the site 

• We’re thinking about the materials we produce and that our signage can be used in future years of the event 

• As part of our commitment to reduce our environmental impact, we strongly encourage all guests to travel by foot, bike or train to the event wherever possible, including by providing a dedicated bike park close to the event entrance   

• After the event, we’ll survey our attendees to better understand travel patterns to consider new alternatives.
