Festival-goers will have the best possible experience at the Territory’s biggest music festival this coming weekend as BASSINTHEGRASS delivers a range of wellbeing and accessibility initiatives.
There will be an on-site medical facility run by St John Ambulance and the National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre (NCCTRC), where medical staff can deliver hospital-level care to those in need and multiple St John NT support sites around the Mindil Beach festival site.
Continuing BASSINTHEGRASS’s industry-leading legacy of delivering the best for attendees, an accessibility ambassador has been appointed by Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC) for the first time.
Harry Walker, a talented musician, radio host and motorsports fan who moved to Darwin from Nhulunbuy will provide valuable feedback about accessibility measures at NTMEC events.
The accessibility measures to help guests with disability enjoy the day include raised platforms, accessible toilets, accessible drop-off zones and free entry for companions.
Music NT’s All Good Project has also partnered with NTMEC to create and promote safe spaces for patrons, staff and performers.
NTMEC has introduced the extra measures to ensure party-goers have the most memorable time possible, for all the right reasons.
Other initiatives include Event Champions, amnesty bins, free water, free sunscreen, plenty of shade, and a low-intensity dry area called the Wellness Space, where the NCCTRC facility will be located, alongside peer to peer support.
Final Release tickets for BASSINTHEGRASS are on sale now for $140, plus booking fee.
