Access Facilities at Cadbury World

Our Provisions

What to do on arrival

Please go straight to reception on arrival before entering the main experience.

Guests who have one of the following forms of documentation are entitled to one free carer ticket.  However, the guest with the disability and any further members of their party will pay full price. Without supporting documentation you will be required to pay the full price general admission. You will be asked to show your documentation to a member of our reception team on arrival.

Please note this does not necessarily mean they will be eligible for a wristband, see the information below. 

Please show one of the following forms of relevant paperwork as well as suitable photo ID of the named recipient at reception.

1. Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance award letter (dated within the last 2 years), or Scottish Disability Payment and Child Disability Payment for visitors from Scotland. 

2. Personal Independence Payment letter (dated within the last 2 years).

3. A current and valid Blue Badge.

4. Letter from GP or consultant (dated within the last 2 years) confirming the need for a full time carer. This does not need to be a letter of diagnosis.

5. A Nimbus Access card with the +1 symbol. The photo on the card must be of the guest who requires a free carer.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to issue carers tickets without seeing the above documentation as well as the recipient's ID . For guests who require more than one carer we ask that you bring documentation to support this.

Wristbands

For Guests who may find it difficult, or cannot stand for long periods of time either because of physical disability or learning/emotional impairment we issue wristbands, so that staff can offer additional assistance. We are happy to arrange a wristband upon presentation of:

• A letter from your GP or Consultant on headed paper (dated within the last 2 years) which clearly states that you are unable to queue and why (we do not need a letter of diagnosis).
• A Personal Independence Payment (PIP) letter (dated within the last 2 years) showing that you receive the enhanced mobility component.
• A Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance (DLA) award letter (dated within the last 2 years) showing that you receive the higher rate mobility component. This must be presented alongside valid photographic ID for the named recipient.
• A Nimbus card with any of the below symbols. The photo on the card must be of the guest who requires a wristband.

Our Visitor Services team will do everything possible to ensure that your visit is as comfortable as possible. However, we are not in a position to assess an individual's abilities so we must insist that the letter from a medical professional states that you are unable to queue and why, rather than simply confirming your condition. This letter will allow a maximum of 4 visitors to gain priority access to the ride or the 4D Chocolate Adventure.
