Concessions

I'm trying to create a rare day out for me and hubzy later this week before prices rise for the summer season. Have spotted on an attraction website it says for concessions "Guests with disabilities Disabled guests will be admitted with a FREE carer on arrival provided proof of disability is shown." can anyone advise me how I show them my disability if its not obvious? My husband is a carer for me but not officially on paper. I claim ESA and still stuck in the waiting queue for PIP but other than that I don't have any paperwork as such.
Oh and can anyone tell me if Marwell Zoo accepts ClubCard Vouchers if they can't let me in concessions please?
Thanks

If its important to you, you'll find a way - if not, you'll find an excuse ! ~ Easy to say when you take money out of the equation!

with other attractions/parks, if you don't have a blue badge, you can take a letter from your doctor, usually issued within the previous 3 months, detailing what your disability is.0

Thanks balletshoes but I dont have a blue badge or a recent letter
and I am certainly not going to bother my Dr for the sake of one of course. Looks like full whack for 2 adults it is then. Failure is only someone elses judgement.

Haven't you got any paperwork for your entitlement to ESA? Or, what about ringing the attraction and asking what identification they accept?0

I'd take your ESA letter. I don't think Marwell is on the list of Tesco rewards so the worst they can do is say the letter doesn't cover you (which I imagine it would).0

Hi,
I work at an attraction like this that asks for some proof of disability. We take a blue badge, DSA/ESA letter or anything really! Give the place a ring before you go and they should tell you what they will accept, but I very much doubt they will make you pay the full adult rate.
Enjoy your day0 -

They may accept a disabled persons bus pass too. I used that as proof recently. Oddily, they didn't accept my ESA letter as proof.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked
