Access Membership Scheme

(To be completed only if you are joining on behalf of someone else)

Please read through the following sections carefully.

A free companion ticket per performance is available to customers who are unable to attend the theatre unaccompanied. To ensure we can offer this facility to those who need it, eligibility criteria will apply. A copy of one of the documents listed on the next page will need to be submitted alongside your completed Access Membership Form. Those who are eligible will be issued with a card which will need to be presented at the theatre at the time of your visit. The cards are valid for 2 years and the cardholder must be present at the theatre at the time of your visit. At the end of the 2 years you will be contacted about renewing.

Proof of eligibility for each individual making up a group booking made by an SEN School, Carehome or Charity Support Group is not required but you will still need to join the membership scheme. We will require a letter from your organisation on branded letterhead that states how many free companion tickets are needed for one to one support for any of the individuals within your group.

If you are submitting your Access Membership Form in printed form please only submit copies of your supporting documentation as all evidence will be securely destroyed once your application has been processed. Newcastle Theatre Royal holds personal and access information about our customers in order to provide the best possible service to you. We will always ask for your consent to hold your details and we will never release any details held on the Access Membership Scheme to outside organisations.

Please allow 14 days for digital applications to be processed and please be aware that forms posted to our freepost address may take longer to arrive and it may take up to 5 weeks to process your application.

If you would like to book tickets for a performance while awaiting your Access Membership being processed, our Box Office team will be able to place your tickets on reservation for 14 days by which time you should receive your membership. If the performance is imminent, please email access@theatreroyal.co.uk

Please feel free to provide us with any additional information that you feel would help us deliver a better service and would help facilitate your visit to Newcastle Theatre Royal.
