A trip to the cinema, a show or a day out should not cost you twice because you need someone with you. Most venues offer a free or discounted ticket for a carer or companion.
In this guide
- CEA cinema card: a free ticket for someone to come with you to the cinema
- Access cards and carer tickets: the Nimbus Access Card, Hynt in Wales, and free companion entry at attractions and heritage sites
- Accessible toilets and the Radar key: Radar keys, Changing Places toilets and the Sunflower lanyard
Quick tips
- Always check before you book. Most venues ask you to book carer tickets by phone or through an access booking line.
- Keep your PIP, DLA or Attendance Allowance award letter handy, as many places accept it as proof.
- Ask about access performances, such as captioned, audio described, signed or relaxed shows.
