Please bear in mind that this is a festival type event and as such will be on surfaces which may be slightly uneven. It is always worth checking weather conditions on the day and making any adjustments to equipment you may need to bring with you for your convenience and comfort.

We provide a free personal assistant ticket to people who may need personal help from a trusted assistant at the event.

This is a simple process following the points below:

1. Order a ticket from our main ticket page (blackheathfireworks.com) in the same name as is shown on the proof of disability document. Book with Blackheath Fireworks and not with See Tickets or Skiddle as we do not have direct access to their systems. In the case of children needing carers, a child would need their own ticket for their admittance and their adult carer would apply for a carer ticket.

2. Send your proof of disability document (photo/scan by email) which can include current Disabled Living Allowance document, Access Card, PIP or equivalent

3. We would then provide you with an equivalent ticket on your booking

You need to email the details through to info@blackheathfireworks.com
