  • Lost & Found can be handed to our On-Site Newtown Festival office, in front of New World

ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility matters: Newtown Festival is built on community, inclusion and care — and we’re
continually working to ensure the day is welcoming and accessible for as many people as possible.

We have worked to create access routes throughout the festival, if you have any access questions feel free to reach out!

DOGS AT NEWTOWN FESTIVAL

Dogs are part of our community too! Just keep in mind that the Festival gets
loud and packed.

If you do bring your pup, make sure they’re comfortable with crowds, well-hydrated, and on a lead at all times. If in doubt, a chilled day at home could be the best treat of all.
