BOOKING POLICY
Adult & Child Ratios
Every booking MUST include at least one child ticket and one adult ticket.
Adult Tickets
Max of two adult tickets with each booking. This is to ensure a larger portion of tickets are set aside for children to meet Santa. If you plan to attend with friends or family, please book under separate accounts for the same time slot as you will not be permitted to put through more than 2 adult tickets on any booking.
Under 1’s
Children under 1 year old attending with an older sibling do not need a ticket - unless you wish for them to meet Santa and receive a gift. In which case, they must have their own Child Ticket.
Wheelchairs
If one of your party is attending in a wheelchair, please select a wheelchair ticket when booking - choosing this ticket allows for more space in the cabin.
REFUND POLICY & EXCHANGE POLICY
Tickets are non-refundable but can be swapped / exchanged for other available time slots. In order to action a time slot or date change, login to your Citizen Ticket account and click the blue button “Exchange”. See this FAQ for more details: How do I exchange my tickets to another date/time slot? Date and time swaps can be made up to 48 hours in advance of arrival, where spaces are available.
LATE ARRIVALS
If you are running late for your booked time slot, please call us on 01620 388588 at the earliest opportunity. It is unlikely we will be able to accommodate you on a later show due to lack of space in the cabin, however, our team on the floor will be happy to check for any available slots on the day. Unfortunately, we cannot give refunds for late arrivals when a show start time has been missed.
If you are happy with all of the above information, please follow the next steps to complete your booking:
Select the date you would like to attend by hovering over the dates on the calendar then clicking the date you want (In this example I have clicked on the green box - Friday 15th December)
Green = Good availability on that day
Amber = Running low on tickets for that day
Red = Completely SOLD OUT for that day
Select the timeslot you want to go by clicking on one of the times in the boxes (Please note that the screenshots are just an example and not reflective of the current availability.) In this example, I have clicked 15th December - the green box 10:00am.
Green = Good availability on that day
Amber = Running low on tickets for that day
Red = Completely SOLD OUT for that day
In the Quantity boxes, use the arrows up and down to add how many tickets you want beside each ticket type:
Child Ticket
Child Wheelchair Ticket (This ticket allows for more space in the cabin).
