CEA Card
The CEA card enables a disabled cinema guest (minimum age 5 years old) to receive one free ticket for someone to go with them to assist them when they visit a participating cinema. To get the free ticket, you will need to purchase a full price ticket for yourself for the same performance of the same film in the same cinema. www.ceacard.co.uk
The Card is also one way for cinemas to make sure they look after their disabled guests. If you require an adjustment to visit a cinema because of your disability, cinema staff should make them for you whether you have a CEA Card or not.
An eligibility criteria applies, but if you don't meet it but believe that as a result of your disability you still need someone to accompany you, you can contact them.
