A. If an event has paid tickets, they must be purchased in advance online - unless stated differently at the top of this page.

Pre booking is essential for our Grotto which often sells out.
Q. What is the refund policy?
A. If we find it necessary to close an event for any reason, we will offer you a full refund or the option to book in to an alternative session (subject to availability). If you are late for your allocated time or cannot make your session, unfortunately we cannot offer a refund. Please ensure that you are confident in being able to fulfil your booking before completing the purchase of your tickets. Tickets cannot be swapped or names changed once booked. Please see the FAQ's for event specific refund variations.
