What is the Access Card Scheme?

The Access Card is a physical card which communicates access requirements to venues and service providers. The card translates your disability or impairment into a suite of symbols to communicate your access requirements quickly and discreetly, It also serves as a recognised proof of your requirements, without the need to provide supplementary paperwork.

For more information, visit the Access Card website.

At present we allow one carer aged 18 or over for every paying registered disabled guest upon provision of a Max card, or proof of DLA or PIP. Carers are entitled to a half-price ticket, which can be booked online as part of your booking.  If you are employed to care for a registered disabled person who you wish to bring, we require a letter from your employer and a payslip in your name.

When you register Nimbus will handle your information safely and securely without Stockeld Park ever seeing the details about why an Essential Companion is required. Stockeld Park can see your registration number and what access requirements you have (as shown on your Access Card or Digital Access Pass).
