They wanted you to know what to expect if you were buying a ticket to see a show at a theatre or arts centres in Wales, and for it to be easy for you to do it. They also want to encourage new audiences to enjoy the arts and improve experiences for disabled people.

So, in March 2014 Arts Council of Wales appointed Creu Cymru, the development agency for theatres and venues in Wales, to work in partnership with Diverse Cymru to deliver this scheme which is now called Hynt.

Hynt is a national scheme with the needs of audiences placed firmly at its heart. It’s grounded in understanding of the challenges that some audiences face in enjoying everything that arts and culture can offer. We want Wales’ cultural spaces to be for everyone so we can all enjoy meaningful, memorable and inspiring experiences.

Hynt is a card scheme that entitles cardholders to a ticket free-of-charge for personal assistants or carers to be used across participating theatres and venues in Wales.

Hynt is a website where you can find information about accessible performances at venues across Wales. You can also read our access guides to help you plan your visit.

Hynt is a training programme working with all of its participating theatres and arts centres to improve accessibility and understanding.
