Shambala will provide a free PA ticket and up to 2 free vehicle passes for those who:
- receive Middle or Higher Rate DLA
- receive Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- receive Attendance Allowance
- have a Nimbus Access Card
- have a recognised Assistance Dog ID Card
- have a certificate of visual impairment
- are registered as d/Deaf
If you come by coach, your PA will also get a free coach ticket.
Under 18’s are only entitled to a free Carer Ticket if they require more than one carer in order to attend. Please contact accessibility@shambalafestival.org to discuss eligibility.
Your Nimbus Access Card needs to have a plus one symbol for a PA ticket, second vehicle pass or PA coach pass.
This ticket can be claimed by filling in the accessibility application form. Proof of entitlement must be emailed to accessibility@shambalafestival.org
If you apply for two car passes, the first one will be able to drive onto the ACA in order to unload and then park in the nearby Accessible Car Park. The second (PA) car pass will not be allowed entry onto site, and will need to park up in the general car park.
If you meet the above criteria there is no need to purchase a PA or vehicle pass in advance. Please apply for your free passes via our Accessibility Application Form once you have bought your entry ticket.
Eligibility for a PA Ticket does not entitle purchasers to a space in the Accessible Camping Area (ACA) and associated vehicle parks. ACA tickets and spaces, like all tickets, are subject to availability. The ACA is provided for those with mobility and/or other specific needs. Spaces are limited, are issued on needs-based assessment and on a first come first served basis.
