Yes, refunds will be administered should we be forced to close due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
If for any reason you need to cancel your tickets, we can offer a refund if you give us more than 48 hours’ notice prior to your visit. If you miss the notice period for a refund, we can offer a transfer to an alternative date during the same event, subject to availability. Please note, an additional charge may be due, if you switch to a more expensive time slot. If an alternative date within the event isn't suitable, we can issue a return credit voucher, which will be the value of your tickets, minus the booking fee, which is non-refundable. The return credit voucher is valid for 12 months, and can be redeemed against any event in this period.
You can show the tickets on your iPhone/Smart Phone or make a note of the Booking Reference Number and take it with you, along with some ID.

If you have purchased tickets online you need to arrive 30 minutes before the time slot you have chosen. This is to allow you enough time to park your car and check in.
If you are late and miss your specific train time the admissions hut will issue you with a late ticket. We will then do our best to get you onto a later train providing we have availability. This may not always be possible though.
