About hynt
hynt is a national scheme with the needs of audiences placed firmly at its heart. It’s grounded in an understanding of the challenges that some people face in enjoying everything that arts and culture can offer. They want cultural spaces to be for everyone so audiences can all enjoy meaningful, memorable and inspiring experiences.
Specifically, hynt is a card scheme that entitles cardholders to a ticket free of charge for personal assistants or carers across participating theatres and venues in Wales.
hynt is also a website where audiences can find information about accessible performances at venues across Wales and you can also read our access guides to help you plan your visit.
Finally hynt is a network, working with all of the participating theatres and arts centres to improve accessibility and understanding through professional development, research and sharing of good practice.
