Accessibility and Carers Tickets
Essex Pride is committed to making our event as accessible as possible to all.
The event is held in Central Park which is accessible from Chelmsford city centre via step free access, however the ground is a grass field which may pose some issues for some wheelchairs if the ground is soft.
For all carer tickets, you will need to firstly join the Chelmsford theatre Access scheme, once your application has been approved, 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 here: Chelmsford Theatre Access Scheme sign up form
