Additional Needs
Additional Needs Requirements
Visitors with additional needs are entitled to one free carer ticket, provided they can show proof of requirement with one of the following:
- Entitlement to Disability Living Allowance (DLA)/Personal Independent Payments (PIP) or Attendance Allowance Award Letter
- A valid Blue Badge
- Access Card with +1 allocation
- A Headed Letter from GP or Consultant (dated within the last 6 months) confirming the need for a full-time carer
Whichever ticket you book for yourself, your carer’s ticket will mirror this.
Visitors will need to book a ticket as normal, and then the carer comes in with them on that ticket. Please bring your proof with you on the night or the carer allocation will not be given.
Mead Open Farm intends to make every visit a safe and pleasurable one for all our visitors. However the attractions during The Howl may be physically demanding and due to the nature of the event unsuitable for visitors with additional needs. For this reason we reserve the right to refuse admission to any attraction should we feel there may be a danger to an individual or others during either normal operation or in the event of emergency procedures. We hope that visitors accept any decision made with regard to preserving the safety of all of our guests. Please note that the provision of any discounts or additional access facilities is provided at the discretion of Mead Open Farm.
Additional needs for those who struggle to queue
If you have difficulty queuing, we can offer you an access pass if you present us with a Nimbus Access Card with Difficulty Standing, Difficulty with Crowds or Difficulty Queuing symbol. This is only form of document that is accepted to gain a access pass for The Howl.
An Access Pass covers yourself and one other.
Please note, an Access Pass does NOT guarantee immediate entry to the attraction. There may still be a short wait time.
If you do not have one but believe to entitled to a Nimbus Access Card with a Difficulty Standing, Difficulty with Crowds or Difficulty Queuing symbol, please apply at your earliest convenience.
