Visiting as a Group

Please note that due to the implementation of a new booking system we will not be able to accept group bookings between Friday 8 August and Monday 25 August 2025.

You will be able to book your visit from Tuesday 26 August 2025.

Booking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day.

We charge a £3.00 admin fee per person for group visits. Some groups, such as higher education institutions, further education colleges, and schools, may be exempt from this charge. Please see below for more information.
