Warner Bros. Studio Audio Description Tour

Please subscribe to our YouTube channel here.

We had a fabulous day at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Watford. All tickets need to be purchased in advance and, when booking the tickets, you book a specific entry time. Tickets can be purchased online or over the phone. There is a carer’s ticket available, which is free of charge, however this can only be booked over the phone. When tickets are collected, proof of eligibility for a carer’s ticket must be shown. This could be a PIP/DLA letter or blue badge etc.

There is plenty of blue badge parking available. It is advisable to have your blue badge on display in your windscreen when you arrive, so that you can be directed to the blue badge parking area. Security is tight and bags will be checked before entry, and there are also security staff using hand held scanners too. All the staff there are very helpful though.

For visually impaired people, if you phone to book your tickets, you can request an audio descriptive tour. If there is someone available to do the tour then this will be booked for you at no extra charge.

We booked the audio descriptive tour for John. It made so much difference to our experience of the attraction. We had a member of staff accompany us around the tour and explain everything about what we were seeing on the tour. To make it more immersive for John, who obviously was unable to see any of it, there were certain things he was allowed to touch, that most visitors are not allowed to touch. For example, having the opportunity to stroke ‘The Monster Book of Monsters’. If you are a visually impaired person it is definitely worth booking the audio descriptive tour if you can.

It was a fantastic day out and we will most definitely be back!
