Accessibility

Sounds from the Other City is a multi venue festival, taking over spaces across Salford. We have tried to make as many venues as possible wheelchair accessible however due to the nature of the event not all spaces are.

Under 18s can access all venues until 10pm if accompanied by an adult.

This page give access details for each venue we are using. Any further questions or to request assistant tickets please email emma@soundsfromtheothercity.com.

We are committed to making our festival as accessible as possible and are always looking for ways to improve. We welcome suggestions of how we can improve our festival for people with access requirements.
