Fancy a bit of a prom?

OK, enough wacky disability gossip and trivia! I think it's time that we had a bit of proper culture on this blog!
Those nice folks over at the 主播大秀 Proms have been in touch to let us know that this year's festival of classical music - which numbers some 70 concerts between 16 July and 11 September - has greater access than ever for disabled concert-goers. There's full wheelchair access to the Royal Albert Hall, an infra-red hearing system, guide dog facilities and large-print programmes and texts. All the stuff you should expect, really. However, when you're booking, disabled concert-goers (and a companion) receive a 50% discount on all ticket prices (except Arena and Gallery areas) for concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and for Proms Chamber Music concerts at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
You can find all the details of the Proms concert schedule in the What's On section of their website. There's also plenty of info about getting those discounted tickets, and much more about access facilities.
So go and get yourself a bit of highbrow culture before all the seats sell out. Just tell 'em Ouch sent you.
