Induction loop
The Festival Marquee, County Buildings Main Hall, The McNeillie Tent, Wigtown Parish Church and The Print Room are all equipped with induction loop technology for the hard of hearing.
Live Subtitling
We are currently finalising plans to offer live subtitling for people with hearing loss, for a selection of events, for two days during the 2022 Festival. Please check back for listings.
Dementia and disability friendly
