Yes, it is. However: it is a highly visual exhibition that would need assistance for the visually impaired to understand what is happening around them.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer your companion a free Pole Position Pack due to the number of additional inclusions it has. companions will be granted free admission on arrival (no ticket purchase is needed in advance), provided accepted forms of documentation are presented on the door (See FAQ: ‘How do I book a ticket for my companion/PA?’ for more information).

Guests who require assistance throughout the exhibition are invited to bring a companion/PA.
If you require the assistance of a companion/PA, we ask that you provide one of the following forms of documentation, to be shown on entry. This will act as evidence of your requirements. Without this documentation we will be unable to provide access to the exhibition for the companion/PA.
Accepted forms of documentation include:
A registered “B,” “H,” or “Bl” in your disability ID card.
Please note that the guest requiring assistance must have a valid entry ticket. If the visitor is a child, to obtain a free companion or PA ticket, there must be at least one full-priced general admission ticket in the group.
