In 2004 a national discount card scheme was launched in almost every UK cinema - that's over 500 cinemas.

The Cinema Exhibitors’ Association Card entitles the holder to one free ticket for a person accompanying them to the cinema.

To apply for the card a person must meet one (or more) of the following criteria.

• Be in receipt of disability living allowance
• Be a registered blind person

The card is valid for three years from the issue date and costs £5.50.

Application forms are available at all participating cinemas, or from the Card Network website HERE.
