We’re always looking for ways to make visiting our venues as easy and enjoyable as possible for everyone.

From XXX, we’ll introduce a new access registration scheme in partnership with Nimbus Disability, making it simpler for customers with access requirements to make use essential companion tickets and access discounts.

Nimbus Disability is a social enterprise run by and for disabled people, and a recognised leader in accessible ticketing across the UK.

Registration is free, quick to complete, and valid for three years. Once registered, your access requirements will be securely linked to your Buxton Opera House account, helping our Box Office team recommend the most suitable seating without needing additional documentation each time you book.

From INSERT DATE, customers wishing to use access discounts (including companion tickets) will need to register through the Access Card scheme. Existing bookings will not be affected, but all new bookings from XXXX requiring access discounts will need registration.

Access Card Registration

How to Link Your Account

Once your application is approved, Nimbus will send you a unique Access Pass number by email.

You can link this to your Buxton Opera House account here or by clicking the button below. 

  • If you don’t already have an account, one will be created for you automatically (you can set your password using “Forgotten My Password”)
  • If you already have an account, simply log in as usual

Once linked, your access requirements will be automatically shared with our system, making future bookings quicker and easier.

How to Register

There are two simple options:

Option 1: Free Access Registration

You can apply for a free access registration, valid for three years.

  • Recognised at Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre
  • Allows us to understand your access needs and support your visit

Complete your free registration

Option 2: Full Access Card

You can choose to upgrade to a full Access Card for £15, valid for three years.

In addition to the benefits above, the full Access Card offers:

  • Recognition at venues across the UK and beyond
  • Eligibility for companion tickets at many participating venues
  • A photo ID card with accessibility symbols
  • Access to an online directory of accessible venues

Apply for a full Access Card

When you register, Nimbus Disability will handle all your information securely and safely without us ever having cause to see the detail behind why you need accessible seating options.
