Nicola Ossher Events Jazz in the Tweed
Event accessibility
Jazz in the Tweed are five safe and free live music events designed for our senior citizens to reconnect with community. The events will be held at the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre – Auditorium, located at the corner of Brett Street and Wharf Street in Tweed Heads, NSW.
Every effort will be made to ensure the comfort of our guests. We will have staff and volunteers to assist guests with parking, entry to the event, seating, and morning tea service before presenting a live jazz performance.
Access services
Certain comfort items will be provided on request, including ear plugs,
cushions for seating and assistance with carrying morning tea items to tables.
Hand sanitiser and masks will also be available at the ‘accessibility station’
inside the venue.
