ACCESSIBLE BREAK IN CLASSIC
Break in Classic is an event in which the classic meets with ease, and virtuosity with a free, vacation atmosphere. We care about this, so that every participant can fully enjoy the picnic on the grass and the most beautiful sounds.
We do not create closed zones, we design the space and communication in such a way that everyone feels like our full-fledged guest, both small children, youth, adults, as well as the elderly. This is our first step towards building a fully accessible festival. Below we have gathered the most important information for you.
Festival Program and Location
The festival takes place from July 31 to August 2, 2026, on the grounds of the park and the Museum of Interiors in Otwock Wielki, at 49 Zamkowa St.

The most important solutions in the scope of accessibility:
-
Assistant's ticket: Persons requiring support are entitled to the possibility of purchasing an additional ticket for an assistant for 1 PLN.
-
Melex (electric cart): Facilitating getting from the entrance to the main stage.
-
Festival buses: Adapted to the needs of people moving in wheelchairs.
-
Induction loops: Available to pick up at the entrance gates.
-
Audio guides: Around the Museum, available among others with audio description and in PJM (Polish Sign Language).
-
Flexible rules: The possibility of bringing your own food and water.
Category D Tickets and Assistance
Tickets from the D pool are intended exclusively for persons with a significant degree of disability and for persons with any degree of disability who move in a wheelchair and possess a certificate of disability. In the ticketing system, 1-day tickets, 2-day tickets, and 3-day passes are available. If you need the help of a supporting person, the ticket for your assistant (regardless of the type) costs 1 PLN. The entitlement to a 1 PLN ticket applies exclusively to assistants supporting persons possessing a certificate of a significant degree of disability or with any degree of disability who move in a wheelchair. You always buy the tickets together – there is no possibility of purchasing just the 1 PLN entry pass later. Verification of the certificate (or appropriate ID card) and identity document takes place at the entrance gates to the festival grounds. Remember that in the case of 3-day passes or 2-day tickets, the assistant also receives a wristband for this entire time, therefore changing the accompanying person during the festival is not possible.
The way to the festival – Commute and Return
Around the Museum of Interiors in Otwock Wielki there are charming, green spaces, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. We draw your attention to the fact that public city transport does not reach Otwock Wielki.
-
Festival buses: We organize bus transport for the audience. The vehicles will depart from in front of the Main Building of the National Museum in Warsaw, and after the concerts drive the audience back to the same place. The buses will be adapted for the transport of persons moving in wheelchairs. We will launch registrations for the rides in June 2026. Information about the registrations will be on the website www.breakinclassic.pl and on the festival's social media (FB and IG).
-
Car and bicycle: You will also reach the festival without a problem by your own car or bicycle. We provide appropriately marked parking spaces for cars and racks for bicycles. Parking tickets will be available to buy from June 2026 on the eBilet.pl website. The number of spaces is limited.
Festival Space – what you need to know
-
Surface: The festival grounds have varied surfaces. You will move on often uneven asphalt alleys, sandy roads, and vast lawns.
-
Concerts on the grass: We resigned from rigid frames and typical grandstands. The audience by the main stage sits on chairs provided by the organizers or directly on the lawn on blankets or deckchairs brought by themselves. You can also enter the lawn in wheelchairs.
-
Internal transport: We realize that moving around the park in a wheelchair or on crutches can be tiring, therefore from the main entrance to the festival grounds right up to the stage itself, a Melex (electric cart) will be running, available for persons needing support.
-
Toilets: Portable toilets adapted to the needs of persons with disabilities will be available on the festival grounds.
Visiting the Museum of Interiors
On Friday and Saturday (3:00 PM – 8:00 PM) and on Sunday (1:00 PM – 6:00 PM) we invite you to visit the Museum of Interiors.
-
Audio guides: We make audio guides available in the Polish and English languages, as well as in a version with audio description and translation into Polish Sign Language (PJM). The audio guides will be made available online, in the form of QR codes, to be played on your own equipment.

You enter the Museum of Interiors directly from the level of the path. The entrance doors are double-leaf. After opening one leaf, the passage has a width of 86 cm. On the ground floor there are no thresholds or stairs, the passages to subsequent rooms have approx. 136 cm of width. In one place, the passage between rooms has approx. 1 meter of length and 85 cm of width.
