Tips & Advice

  • Book online by 5pm the day before to qualify for advance ticket pricing rather than paying the door rate.
  • For a party of four, compare the £10 advance group ticket with the £15 door ticket; advance booking closes at 5pm the day before.
  • If bringing children, make sure each child is accompanied by an adult, as unaccompanied children are not permitted.
  • Treat your purchase as final: payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, so confirm your plans before booking.
  • Choose the £33 festive afternoon tea package if you want afternoon tea bundled with free market entry.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Festive Afternoon Tea package with free market entry, booked separately
  • Group ticket for four people, available in advance or on the door
