Access to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms
The festival of classical music that is the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms is on the horizon once again. This year it runs from 15 July to 10 September, with over 70 concerts taking place at London's Royal Albert Hall. Themes for the season include the sea, fairy tales, and composer anniversaries.
So this is a good time to remind you of all the various access facilities that are laid on for the Proms. These include: wheelchair access to every Prom and Chamber Prom, guide dog facilities and an infra-red hearing system. The Proms guide is also available in audio cassette, CD, braille and computer disk versions. But the best thing is that there's a 50% discount on most tickets for disabled concert-goers - quite a bargain.
For more, check out the Proms website. There are details on ticket booking for disabled Promenaders, plus lots of information on disabled access to the various venues.
