What there is beyond the classroom.

Groups only. Everything goes through the school: the school makes the booking, and the link to sign up for the family workshop also comes from the school. If the school does not go to the play, the family cannot sign up.

• Performances for schools, from nursery age 3 to Year 10, at the theatre in the Iparralde community centre
• €5 a pupil, subsidised; teachers go free
• Schools book through the «Reservas» section of its website; the general booking period was in September and, outside it, if places are left, they help with booking
• «Teloia ireki aurretik»: free workshops with Izaskun Arrue Kulturgunea, so a child and their family can get to know the play before seeing it with the class; 16:45 to 17:50, with a second slot at 18:15 to 19:20 if demand is high
• Family workshops for 2026-2027: «Gure Kanoa», 31 October (register by 17 October); «Elara», 7 November (by 24 October); «Toca toca», 12 December (by 28 November); «Natzuri», 30 January (by 16 January); «Scrooge», 27 February (by 13 February); «TÁ», 8 May (by 30 April)
• Free one-hour workshops for teachers, held at the school, to prepare the play before the visit
• According to the council, the theatre has two wheelchair spaces; for the Red de Teatros season they are bought by phone or at the box office, and held until an hour before the performance

What it lacks: It says nothing about disability anywhere: not on the families page and not in its FAQ. The only thing is the notes field on the booking form, which in Basque asks for «behar bereziak» (special needs). And it is the theatre in the municipal network with the fewest wheelchair spaces: 2, against 6 at the Félix Petite.

• Audiobooks on CD and, through eLiburutegia, children’s and teenage audiobooks in DAISY format
• Over 286 libraries across Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa share one catalogue

• 60% off for families on income support and 30% for large families

Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa reserve 5% in Udalekuak; some outlets say the same about Araba, but the council does not publish it, so ask. Nor does it give the dates of the ordinary shifts or which hostel each week uses. And the 2027 call has not been published yet: this is the 2026 edition, which took place in July.

Checked on 2026-10-16

• One-hour adapted visit, open all year, booked by phone or email (the details are on its website)

• Published rate: €8 for adults, €2.50 from 7 to 12 and free from 0 to 6

What it lacks: The page says both that the adapted visit starts at the «El Torno» entrance in the village and that you must arrive 15 minutes early at the Visitors' Centre: ask where to meet when you book. It says nothing about a disability discount, the price of the inclusive visit or ages, and it offers nothing for intellectual or hearing disability.

• An extra-wide seat, if requested five days ahead
• Wheelchair loan, requested five days ahead and leaving an ID card or passport
• Hearing loop at the box office counter

What it lacks: It publishes no price or discount for disability. In the halls, the magnetic loop «is an item on loan, available on the client’s request»: it is not installed, and at a conference centre the client is usually whoever hires the hall, so ask first. And the accessibility guide it links to is from November 2020.

• Adapted Basque pelota and raspall tournament
• Inclusive athletics championship
• Adapted swimming open
• Competitions in the 2025-26 season, such as the Basque football league for people with an intellectual disability

Checked on 2026-10-16

What it lacks: It does not say in which towns or premises each group meets, or on which exact day. The 2026 fees are only in an image.

Checked on 2026-10-16

• ONCE members: 50% off in the box proscenium and 25% elsewhere
• Youth allocation: a limited number of €5 tickets

What it lacks: The discounts only apply to shows that have them set, so you have to check show by show. The last adapted performance it announces, with audio description, is from January 2025, and its accessibility page does not mention sign language. There is nothing for intellectual disability or autism: no relaxed performances and no easy-read materials.

Checked on 2026-10-16

Groups only. The page says the museum offers «recursos y varias fórmulas de visita» (resources and several ways of visiting) to groups who find it hard to get into the exhibitions, but it does not say what they are or how to book them: you have to ask.

What it lacks: Its accessibility page mentions nothing cognitive or for autism (no easy read, no quiet hour), and it gives no ages, dates or prices for the adapted visits. Two of its pages describe the discount differently (30% on one; a reduced ticket of €9 on the other): ask which applies to you.

• According to San Sebastián Turismo, assistance dogs are admitted free, including autism assistance dogs

What it lacks: It publishes nothing for the companion, and its accessibility information comes from San Sebastián Turismo, not from the museum. According to that portal, there is no hearing loop, no sign-language guides, no video guides and no sign-language tours; the door is glass with no marking strips, some areas are poorly lit, some display cases overhang below 2.20 m, and the simulation area is not wheelchair accessible.

• Seven-day camps in July (four turns in 2026), in Basque or bilingual, by age: 7-8, 9-11 (born between 2015 and 2017) and 12-13
• At hostels across Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa; each age group’s page says which ones and which weeks

• Fee based on 2024 income: €22, €102 or €146; €102 for large or single-parent families; €73 for large families in the special category; €22 for families on minimum income support or with no one in work

What it lacks: The Udalekuak pages say nothing about reserved places: the 5% is only in the foral order that regulates the campaign, without saying what counts as a special educational need or how to ask for support. And the 2027 call has not been published yet: this is the 2026 edition, which took place in July.

• 20% off for wheelchair users, and the same for a companion, at any show with more than one price

• The 74th Zinemaldia is over (it ran from 18 to 26 September 2026) and its website has not yet published the dates of the 75th

• According to San Sebastián Turismo, the gala screenings are usually subtitled
• Seats for people with limited mobility are requested by phone, according to the ticketing page

What it lacks: The 2026 programme has no audio-described sessions at all, although the San Sebastián Turismo portal talks of two or three a year. The children's section has no sign language, and its six films are dubbed into Basque: a child who only understands Spanish is left out, and each film is shown only once. There is no disability or companion rate, and you cannot enter the screen once the session has started: for a child who needs to come in later, or step out and come back, that closes the door. Each person can buy at most 4 tickets per session, so a family of five has to buy twice. And nothing cognitive.
