Accessibility
We want the Rothesay International Eastbourne to be as welcoming, inclusive and accessible as possible, working within the restrictions of a temporary outdoor venue.
If you'd like to see additional facilities at the tournament, or if you have any other personal requirements, let us know below:
Accessible car parking spaces are free and available with easy access to Gate 7. Please note that accessible parking is allocated on a first come, first serve basis. To book your accessible parking space, an option will become available for you to opt in at the time you purchase your wheelchair accessible ticket online.
Alternative accessible parking is available at Saffrons and is available on a first come, first serve basis. Please be advised this is a pay-to-park option. There is a pay-for-bus service operating from this car park that can take one wheelchair per trip and drops off near Gate 2.
All accessible public catering facilities are located within the venue grounds in the grass areas either side of the South Stand seating structure of Centre Court.
Head to the food & drink section for more information on accessibility:information on what will be available for 2024:
We have accessible toilets located on the West side of Devonshire Park adjacent to Court 1 and Court 2.
No dogs are allowed in the venue, except for certified assistance dogs. Certified assistance dogs are only allowed in the disabled areas on Centre Court, Court 1 and Court 2. Individuals wishing to access Centre Court, Court 1 or Court 2 with their certified assistance dog must buy a ticket for the Wheelchair accessible seating areas.
Please note that there are no dog spending areas within the grounds, however a re-entry policy is in place to facilitate leaving the grounds.
As part of our vision of ‘Tennis Opened Up’, we want everyone to feel included at our major events. That is why we’ve decided to introduce sensory bags at all LTA tournaments this 2024 grass court season.
Available for collection from our tournament information point, each sensory bag contains ear defenders, ear plugs, sunglasses and fidget toys, as pictured. Spectators who would like to use a sensory bag will be required to sign it out from the information point, and then sign it back in upon return.
Information point staff will be on hand to assist with this collection process.
There are a number of wheelchair spaces available on Centre Court, Court 1 and Court 2 which provide space for one wheelchair user accompanied by a carer. Please note that the carer/companion ticket is complimentary. You can purchase wheelchair and essential companion tickets online ahead of the tournament.
