  • Use your ticket more than once: Friday evening with friends, Saturday for a full day of shopping, and Sunday with the family.
  • Bring the children along, because under-16s get in free with an accompanying adult.
  • Bring your Blue Light card and ID to get the discounted ticket rate.
  • Save time for the expanded Food & Drink Hall and the new Christmas & Crafts Area, both added for 2026.
