Carer’s Tickets & The Nimbus Access Card

At Rainbow H.E. Events we want to be as accessible as possible. To make things fair and consistent for everyone, we’ve partnered with Nimbus Disability and their Access Card scheme.

The Access Card is a way to show your access needs quickly and easily. It’s recognised by many venues across the UK. We will be using it primarily to validate a request for a carer’s ticket and to ascertain what reasonable adjustments we may need to make for our guests.

IMPORTANT

You do not need to book your carers ticket at the same time as you book your own paid ticket. We guarantee that those qualifying will be able to book a free carer ticket until four weeks before the event, even if the event is otherwise fully booked.

Why we use the Access Card

  • It gives us one clear and consistent way to verify who qualifies for a Carer’s Ticket.
  • It avoids asking people to share personal documents with us directly.
  • It’s simple to use at the event. Just show your card.

Important: The Nimbus Access Card is the only evidence we will accept for issuing Carer’s Tickets at Rainbow H.E. Events.

Do I have to pay for a card?

No. If you only want the card for our event, there’s a free option.

Nimbus offers a paid card (£15 for 3 years) that includes a physical card and works at hundreds of other venues, festivals and attractions. This is great value if you go to lots of events.

But if you just need the card for Rainbow H.E. Events, you can choose the free version instead. Both free and paid cards work exactly the same for getting your Carer’s Ticket with us.

How it works

    1. Go to the Nimbus Access Card website to apply online. You’ll be asked for some basic information about your access needs.
    2. Choose whether you want the free card (for our event only) or the paid card usable at many other venues (see the Nimbus website for more information.
    3. Nimbus reviews your application and confirms your card.
    4. Email your card number to info@rainbowhe.events, we use the Nimbus portal to check you qualify for +1. Once eligibility is confirmed we will email you a code to book your free carer ticket.
