I have booked tickets with you in the upcoming weeks – can I get a refund?

The majority of our income comes from ticket and membership sales and closing for a third lockdown will have a yet a further negative impact on our sustainability. For anyone who has booked tickets for this period, we would be extremely grateful if you would consider making this a donation, if your circumstances allow.

Can I transfer my ticket to another date? 

We are currently unable to transfer tickets to a new date as we have closed all future bookings temporarily until we future tier reviews. We can refund your tickets and you can re-book for another time slot when tickets are available again.
