By bike, by bus, by rail, by foot…

Please take care when travelling to and from the festival.

Once you’re in Liverpool there are many options to get to Africa Oyé in Sefton Park and we’ll always suggest choosing greener options such as walking or cycling if you’re able to, or utilising public transport where possible via Merseyrail and Merseytravel services.

Please note: Car parking in the immediate vicinity of the festival is limited, and predominantly for residents. Due to Sefton Park being very busy across the weekend, including road closures around the festival site, driving directly to Africa Oyé is not advised.

Africa Oyé strives to be as inclusive as possible, welcoming all our deaf, disabled and neurodivergent festival-goers.

Being an outdoor, open air, music festival positioned on greenfield sites, every year we focus on providing a number of facilities on site to accommodate disabled guests’ needs. This includes our amazing interpreters who provide BSL on the main stage.

Due to the nature of our festival, the majority of the acts do not sing in English. We always try our best to make sure where possible the service is available. Any important stage announcements and information, such as lost children and first aid call outs will be provided in BSL on-stage between acts.
