We offer all disabled customers an additional free ticket for an essential companion to accompany them to the event, if required. Essential companion tickets are provided with the understanding that the essential companion is willing and able to assist the access customer throughout their entire stay at the event. Essential companions must arrive and leave the event with the qualifying visitor and must be able to perform all requirements as needed, including assistance during an evacuation or other emergency. People attending on an essential companion ticket must be attending with a qualifying visitor who has a valid entry ticket already purchased and should be over the age of 18 unless otherwise agreed with the Access Team. Children under 4 (who qualify for a free ticket) do not also qualify for a free essential companion, as they would always be required to be under the supervision of a responsible adult. When you arrive you will be asked to produce documentation to validate your essential companion ticket. Accepted documentation includes: - Entitlement to Disability Living Allowance for children under 16 - Personal Independent payments for those aged 16-64 - Attendance Allowance or Essential Companion's Allowance letter of award - Incapacity Benefit book - A Blue or Orange badge - BD8 or a Certificate of Visual Impairment (CVI) - The Access Card - International Proof of Disability You will need to agree to bring at least one of the above in order to have your ticket validated. Please select one ticket per essential companion required - only one essential companion per qualifying ticket. Please contact info@kew.org if you need to discuss your access needs further.
