Upload Evidence to Request an Essential Companion Ticket
Complimentary Essential Companion tickets are provided on the understanding that the companion is a responsible person aged 18 or over, who is capable of providing necessary assistance to the ticket holder during the event, including in the event of an evacuation or other emergency.
- Request deadline is midnight 29 October 2026.
- We strongly recommend applying as soon as you've purchased your tickets.
- Essential Companion tickets are subject to overall event capacity and eligibility and cannot be guaranteed once the event sells out, which typically occurs well in advance of this deadline.
- Those with an Essential Companion ticket will not be admitted by themselves, they must enter with the disabled person.
- Essential Companions must not attend without a valid ticket - no entry will be granted.
We accept the following as evidence of eligibility (evidence must show the disabled attendee's name):
- DLA (middle or higher rate care component)
- PIP (standard or enhanced daily living component)
- Access Card showing the +1 Essential Companion symbol
- Attendance Allowance letter
- War Pension, AFCS or AFIP letter
- Certificate of Visual Impairment
- A letter from a GP, medical professional, or social worker
If you don't hold any of the above but believe you're eligible, please email accessibility@stowfireworkspectacular.co.uk to discuss before applying.
Please do not email or message your evidence to us - standard email and messaging apps are not secure ways to send sensitive documents like medical evidence. All requests must be submitted through this form, which handles your evidence securely and keeps a proper record for processing. If you're unable to complete the form yourself, ask a companion, friend, or family member to help.
Essential Companion tickets can only be issued against tickets purchased directly through our official TicketSource sale. Tickets bought from anyone else - including private resale or "touts" - are invalid under our Ticket Terms & Conditions, and any Essential Companion request tied to them will be rejected.
