PA Tickets are also available for those with under 18s who require more than one carer. Please contact the accessibility team accessibility@anthroposfestival.org to discuss eligibility (please check your spam).
If you can provide proof that you have a current middle or higher rate DLA or you receive a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) you are eligible for a free PA ticket.
For clarification of eligibility for free PA tickets don't hesitate to contact us.
How to apply for your PA ticket: Purchase your own ticket and then contact accessibility@anthroposfestival.org (please check your spam) with copies of your supporting documentation, your contact name, email and phone number. Your application will be looked at and we will get back to you with all further details you need.
