Things you need to know before you book

• We want to accommodate as many children as possible, so we prefer not to exceed a 1:1 ratio for adults to children.
• Please note bookings will close the day before the event and you will not be able to book on the day.
• If you are booking for a group, we require at least one adult for every eight children.
• If you are intending to book older or younger children into the sessions, please bear in mind that the content may not be engaging for them, and restless behaviour can affect the enjoyment of others in the audience. We will be happy to recommend alternative things to do that might be more relevant.
• For charged activities the prices apply for all children attending (including older and younger siblings), unless they will be sitting on an adult’s lap.
• You must make payment by credit or debit card at the time of booking. We are unable to send invoices, even for larger groups or network organisations.
• Your booking can be changed up to 28 days before the visit date. After that point you can increase the number of visitors on your eticket at any time, subject to availability and provided that you pay any additional sums which may be charged for the increase by credit or debit card upon changing the booking. You can do this by calling us on 033 0058 0058.
• On or after the 28-day deadline It will not be possible to change or cancel your booking and you will not be entitled to a refund in any circumstances. We are unable to transfer your eticket to another date or reduce the number of visitors on your eticket, and no refund will be available if your group or part of your group is no longer able to attend on the day.

Please read our full terms and conditions.
