Pride visitors with a disability who need to attend with a registered carer must pay for their ticket; however, the carer will be allowed in free of charge and will be given a carers wristband.

The carer may purchase alcohol for their service user but they may not consume alcohol themselves whilst working as a carer.

We advise purchasing your carers ticket in advance of the event.

For all carer tickets, you will need to firstly join the Chelmsford theatre Access scheme, once your application has been approved by Chelmsford Theatre by email, you will be able to purchase a carer (essential companion) ticket online or via the Chelmsford Theatre Box Office.

You can join the access scheme at this link:
