CARE, BUILT IN

Designed for neurodivergent minds.
Open to everyone.

Accessibility and neurodiversity aren't a footnote at Chronosphere – they shape every decision we make, from site layout to the people you'll meet when you arrive. It's built with neurodivergent people, not simply for them – our team, our partners, and the neurodivergent designer behind Chronosphere's entire visual identity.

THREE PILLARS · ONE CARE

Nothing about us, without us.

Relic · Past

Your own space by the stage

A reserved spot near the stage: room to breathe, a clear view, an easy way in and out. Tick the box when you register and it'll be ready for you. Seating is available.

Beacon · Present

Safety Angels on site

A warm, friendly team around the site all weekend – ready to guide and support you. No questions asked. They can help you find a quiet space, navigate the site, get to first aid, or simply walk with you for a bit. After you register, an optional form lets you share any support needs in advance, so the Angels are ready to meet you right at the entrance.

Pulse · Beyond

Deaf access by the DJs

We're creating a dedicated area near the main stage, designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing guests – close to the DJs, with clear sightlines and space to feel the set through vibration and the crowd around you.

Trained volunteers with sign language skills (LGP) are spread across the whole festival, and every member of staff carries Spread the Sign – the world’s largest multilingual sign dictionary – to look up and use basic signs in the moment.

ALSO IN PLACE

Sensory, regulation & rest

Brain Wash, Chronosphere's dedicated regulation space
Brain Wash – our dedicated regulation space

Brain Wash is a calm, dedicated regulation space, open 09:00–18:00 – somewhere to step away, decompress and reset.

By day, the Pulse well-being tent hosts talks and workshops on neurodiversity; from 18:00–04:00 it becomes a second regulation space, staffed by specialised volunteers.

Trained & ready

  • The whole team, including our medical and safety partners, trained on neurodivergence ahead of the festival
  • A direct protocol between our medical tent and wellbeing team, for fast, joined-up support

Low-stimulus by design

  • Graphics, lettering and wayfinding created by a neurodivergent designer
  • Clear, literal signage throughout the site
  • No strobing or harsh flashing in calmer areas
  • Noise-controlling headphones available on site

Space to breathe

  • Quiet zones away from the main stage areas
  • Step-free routes to key facilities where terrain allows
  • Camping and glamping set away from the stage areas
  • Advance site information so you know what to expect

PARTNERSHIP

Peter Koijen Foundation

Chronosphere is a proud partner of the Peter Koijen Foundation, working alongside Ligia Koijen Ramos. The Foundation exists to mind the gap – between a diagnosis and real support, between good intentions and daily life, between systems and humans.

Together we bring that same spirit to the festival: presence when it matters, support without stigma, and a celebration everyone can genuinely be part of.

PARTNERSHIP

Associação Portuguesa Voz do Autista

Chronosphere also partners with the Associação Portuguesa Voz do Autista, a Portuguese autistic self-advocacy organisation run by and for autistic people, dedicated to inclusion and to making sure autistic voices are heard – not spoken for.

Their guidance shapes how we talk about neurodiversity, and it echoes the same principle behind everything we do at Chronosphere: nothing about us, without us.

PARTNERSHIP

Loop Earplugs

Chronosphere is a partner of Loop Earplugs. Their earplugs are made for live music – they bring the volume down without flattening the sound, which can help if the floor gets too much.

If you’d like a pair, you can buy them from Loop.

Let us know what you need.

When you register for updates, you can tell us if you have accessibility needs – it helps us prepare the right support in advance. You can also email us directly with any questions.
