Affordable Tickets Scheme
At Stanley Arts, we believe creativity should be for everyone. Our Affordable Ticket Scheme is part of our commitment to radical inclusion – helping to remove financial and practical barriers so that more people can enjoy and take part in our events, performances, and creative programmes.
What is the Affordable Ticket Scheme?
We want to provide free and subsidised tickets to performances and activities for those who may otherwise find it difficult to attend due to financial reasons or accessibility needs.
This includes:
- Free or discounted tickets to selected performances
- Subsidised places in our learning and engagement activities such as workshops and crafts
- Support for accessible experiences like BSL-interpreted, captioned, audio-described and relaxed performances, and touch tours
Who Can Join?
This scheme is only for residents in postcodes beginning with SE25, CR0, SE19, SE20 or CR7 who receive the following benefits:
- Attendance Allowance
- Carer’s Allowance
- Your child receives Free School Meals
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Housing Benefit
- Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
- Pension Credit
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Universal Credit (UC)
- Bereavement Support Payment
Not on this list but still struggling financially? You can still apply by briefly telling us about your situation – we’re here to help.
We ask for your postcode but don’t ask for evidence of further eligibility as this scheme is operated on a trust basis, and we hope this scheme will be used by those who need lower cost and free tickets only.
