Accessibility

Elemental AKL is a festival for everyone to take part in and enjoy. ATEED has worked closely with event organisers to ensure that events are as accessible as possible.

We are proud to partner with Touch Compass, New Zealand’s leading inclusive professional performing arts organisation to present InMotion Matariki. This event is an illuminated all-wheels parade, where participants are invited to decorate their bicycles and wheelchairs and enjoy pockets of performance by performers as they explore Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter. Find out more about this event here.

How do I book accessible tickets?
