The UK Cinema Association (UKCA) and its members want to make visiting the cinema an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all. We fully appreciate that some disabled people face barriers at the cinema as a result of the effect of their disability. We are working hard to identify and remove these barriers.
Some disabled people need to be accompanied by someone else to enjoy the cinema experience. To make being accompanied as easy as possible the UKCA operates the CEA Card scheme. The scheme allows a Cardholder to be accompanied by someone, free of charge, when they purchase a ticket to visit a participating cinema with that person.
The CEA Card scheme is intended to benefit everyone who might face barriers that require someone’s assistance when visiting the cinema, such as barriers that result from sight or hearing loss, having limited mobility or being neurodivergent. These are just examples – disability and its effects are very wide-ranging. The focus of the CEA Card Scheme is on removing, or at least minimising, some of the adverse effect of disabilities by providing for someone to accompany a disabled person.
The CEA Card is available to applicants aged 5 years and above.
To apply, you will need:
- Proof of eligibility
- A photo
- Payment of £6.00
You will need your previous card number if you wish to renew your CEA Card.
You can pay for your card online or by post.
