Book now for PRIORITY ENTRY.

Booking is free and allows priority entry during your chosen 30 minute entry time slot. We kindly ask that you book only the entry time slot you intend to visit, to allow fair access for all attendees. If you arrive after your time slot, you will need to claim a new ticket from the box office, subject to availability.

Limited entry will still be available each day via a separate box office for those without an advance priority booking. However, during busy periods, entry may be subject to delays and cannot be guaranteed. Priority will be given to pre-registered visitors.

All under 16's need to be accompanied by an adult.

Due to limited capacity, booking is required for the following:

• Quiet entry: Sunday 5 July, 9:30am -10:30am
• BSL Interpreter (including exhibition entry): Sunday 5 July, 11am -1pm
• Blue Badge parking: Tuesday 30 June - Sunday 5 July

School/college groups should book their visit through the dedicated page.
