We get a number of questions relating disability access and carer tickets at the venue for different events all the time, so in an effort to help you before you attend, we have listed some of them here for you to peruse before the event to make your visit as stress-free as possible!

​

DISABLED ACCESS

Both the For the Love of Horror event and Bowlers Exhibition Centre venue are completely disabled friendly with full access to all areas of the event. There are disabled toilet facilities inside the public toilet areas, and ramps throughout the ground floor and outside. There is a flight of stairs that lead up to the Cantina Space Bar with lift access for anyone unable to use the stairs.

 

DISABLED PARKING

There is Accessible Parking near the Bowlers Exhibition Centre and limited dedicated accessible parking spaces are available in the venue car park area itself, these are sold on a first-come-first-served basis, please click HERE to check availability and book parking tickets.

 

DISABILITY ACCESS & CARER TICKETS

Personal Assistant Ticket – A complimentary personal assistant ticket can be issued to those holding a Nimbus Access Card that displays a +1 or +2 symbol. This ticket is a free standard entry ticket. When holding this ticket, we expect Personal Assistants to remain with the customer they are there to support throughout the event.

 

Fast-Track Entry - There are no limits on Fast-Track Entry for anyone who requires it. As above these tickets will be issued using the Nimbus card scheme. To be eligible, your access card must show a queuing symbol. The Fast-Track Entry ticket will only allow access to enter the event via the fast-track queue. This does not include Guest Fast Track.

 

Auto/Photo Fast Track - Previously we issued one Fast Track to cover both entry and all guests. Our reasoning was to ensure that we don’t oversubscribe the accessible area/lane which would make it ineffective for everyone. From 2025 onwards, there is a Fast Track capacity for each individual guest. This will also be separated into their autographs and photographs. Anyone who is registered under our Nimbus card scheme and holds a queuing symbol can apply for a Fast Track auto or photo ticket with any of the announced guests. Please note that you must have a valid auto/photo ticket for the guest in question before applying for a Fast Track. These tickets are limited and are subject to availability. These tickets will need to be requested each time a ticket is purchased. Fast-Track will not automatically be added even if this has been applied to another guest order.

 

Please note that we cannot issue any Fast-Track tickets at the event. These must be pre-ordered through our Ticketing partner in advance of your attendance. Our new scheme will increase the number of accessibility Fast-Track tickets we can issue by 50-100 times as many as under the previous policy to better support access customers.
