Do I need to book in advance?
Booking in advance is not required, you can buy a ticket on the door. We recommend booking in advance during busy periods to guarantee entry.
Can I transfer my ticket to another date/time?
Unfortunately, our tickets are non-transferrable. This also applies during adverse weather.
I’m a Friend, do I need to purchase a ticket online?
No, but please ensure that you bring your valid membership card (or email confirmation) with you upon arrival, as our front of house team are unable to check your membership at the door. You will need to buy a day ticket if you do not present your card.
Please note that we strongly recommend pre-booking for events to avoid disappointment.
