Requesting a BSL interpreter for the festival

This year we are pleased to be able to offer free British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation for deaf visitors during the festival, which runs from 13–21 September.

If you would like to attend any open days, tours, or events with a BSL interpreter, please let us know using the form below.

How to request a BSL interpreter

  • Browse the programme and note any buildings or events you'd like to attend.

  • Complete the form below, telling us what you’re interested in by 18 August.

  • If you're not sure what you want to attend yet, you can still use the form to tell us which date(s) you plan to visit, and we can follow up with you closer to the time.

Please note:

BSL interpretation is limited and offered on a first come, first served basis, so we recommend getting in touch as early as possible to avoid disappointment. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your request.

By completing the form you agree for us to contact you to confirm availability and next steps.
