GDIF 2021, London's Free Outdoor Festival Audio Described

London’s free outdoor festival GDIF (Greenwich + Docklands International festival) 2021 will again be providing access for blind and partially sighted people through audio description to many of the great performances and events this year. 

GDIF 2021 runs from Friday 27 August to Saturday 11 September and RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Alex Covell, GDIF Access Producer to find out a bit more about what is on offer this year for visually impaired people.

Alex began by giving Toby a brief background to GDIF and why access is so important to the festival.

Alex then gave a flavour of what is on offer during GDIF 2021 for blind and partially sighted people with audio description as well as some of the other access provision such as access tents, meeting points and much more besides. 

There is a fantastic range of accessible events during GDIF 2021 and more details including an audio flyer and brochure can be found by visiting the access pages of the festival website via the following link -
