Your booking terms and conditions
These terms and conditions relate to booking your event, attending your event and any activities before or after your attending the event. Once we have issued a confirmation email to the "Lead Name" on you booking, a contract will exist between you and us. Upon receipt, if you believe that any details on the confirmation email are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes cannot be made later.
If you are booking on behalf of a group, please ensure that you have the consent of all members of the party before making a booking and that all members of your party have read and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. The person who completes the online booking will be the Lead Name for the purposes of the booking. The Lead Name must be 16 years of age or over at the time of booking and is responsible for payment of the total booking price. The Lead Name must confirm that all the other members of the party agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and provide accurate and full information to the remainder of the group in relation to the booking, including any subsequent changes.
1. Age restrictions
Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult (16+ years old) during the experience. The adult must be a paying member of the group and accepts full responsibility for any under 16s in the group. Under no circumstances are children allowed to be left alone at any time while on the premises.
