Most local cinemas provide wheelchair spaces, removable seats, ramps or lifts – but it might be worth checking. Some have headsets for some performances so people who are visually impaired can listen to someone describing what is happening.
Carers or supporters go free!
Anyone who receives DLA (disability living allowance) can apply for a CEA (Cinema Exhibitions Association) card. This gives their carer or supporter a free ticket.You need to fill in an application form and send this with your payment (when we wrote this, it was £5) and a passport photo of yourself. You can get the form at cinemas or you can download it from the CEA website by clicking here.
