Essential Companion Scheme The Essential Companion Scheme is offered to those who require a companion to assist them in accessing the facilities at Eastbourne Theatres.

The scheme offers members the opportunity to obtain one ticket, free of charge, for the Essential Companion. The primary role of the Essential Companion is to assist with mobility or guidance.

The scheme is not offered to anyone who can cope independently in a public venue, nor to those who simply require a companion to assist with transportation to Eastbourne Theatres.
