Please pre-book your visit to ensure entry

For a safe and enjoyable visit, we’re limiting the number of visitors who can visit at any one time.

This means that to guarantee entry at your preferred visit time, all visitors should book ONLINE before arrival. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment!

When booking, you will be reserving a morning or afternoon visit session – or your arrival time on peak visiting days such as Half-Term & Bank Holidays (with flexible departure times). Your tickets will be sent out immediately by email (to avoid delays, nothing is posted).

Please remember to book ALL visitors (including annual members, children and carers)!

As soon as you receive your membership number by e-mail, you can reserve your visit above (please check availability first if you wish to visit immediately).
