Person with Disabilities and Person with Disabilities Carers

Evidence of a valid Access Card must be provided to be able to purchase a Person with Disabilities Day Ticket/Annual Pass. Evidence of a valid Access Card with the +1 symbol on it must be provided to be able to purchase a Person with Disabilities plus one Day Ticket/Annual Pass or the +2 symbol on it for two Carers (the evidence must be in date). Evidence must be shown to staff at the entrance. If evidence is not brought or not in date the full charge will apply. This is the only form of proof we will accept.

If purchasing a Person with Disabilities plus one or two Carers Day Ticket/Annual Pass, the carer must be 18yrs+. When purchasing a Person with Disabilities plus one or two Carers Annual Pass the carer will be linked to the person with disabilities and only one card will be issued to the person with disabilities, and the carer can only enter the Park when the person with disabilities enters.

We reserve the right to ask for photographic ID if we feel it is needed.

We do not have separate entry points or a queue jumping system in place. During the holidays the queues will be long.

Introducing the Access Card Scheme

We are pleased to be working with Nimbus Disability, utilising their Access Card Scheme and Digital Access Pass system to provide our customers with a more consistent and improved experience when accessing necessary support.

This scheme is designed for all customers who require adjustments to make their visit more comfortable, such as essential companion tickets, access to queue assists, raised viewing platforms, accessible entrances, BSL interpretation visibility, and other reasonable adjustments. By partnering with Nimbus Disability, a leading authority on accessible ticketing run by and for disabled people, we can better understand and meet your access requirements in a consistent and secure manner. This also helps to protect these provisions from potential misuse.

Through this scheme, you can apply for a free Digital Access Pass specifically for use with Knockhatch Adventure Park, or you can choose to apply for a full Access Card for broader recognition.
