At Speciality & Fine Food Fair accessibility is important — helping to provide an enjoyable event for everyone.

Wheelchair access

There are 12 designated bays for Blue Badge holders in Olympia London's Motorail car park. These are 260cm x 480cm (8ft 6in x 15ft 9in).

These parking bays have a marked zone to both sides and rear. Please note that the wide bays are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. If you require a Blue Badge parking space, please remember to pre-book this online using the Olympia website as spaces are limited. 

The route from the car park to the entrance is accessible to a wheelchair user unaided. The surface on the approach is tarmac and there is one road to cross between the car park and the entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible registration counter in the National Hall foyer to assist with entering the event.  

Lift access

There is a lift to enter the National Entrance as there are three steps with a depth between 30cm and 45cm. For more information on how to use the lift and to see images, please click here for the Access Guide concerning Olympia.

Venue access 

Olympia National entrance is on the junction of Olympia Way and Hammersmith Road, just a short distance from Olympia Overground station and Motorail car park. Olympia National has a wheelchair lift in the foyer and a passenger lift to the gallery level.

The Quiet Room

Exhibitions and events are vibrant and dynamic environments, brimming with opportunities for learning and exploration. However, they can also be overwhelming, exhausting, and triggering for many individuals due to the constant stimulation of lights, people, noise, and their outward-facing nature. For Speciality & Fine Food Fair we are working with EventWell to provide a quiet space on for attendees who may feel overwhelmed by their surroundings. Our EventWell hosts are fully trained in safeguarding and mental health first aid and can provide support to anyone who needs a safe space to help manage sensory overload
