Tips & Advice
- Sign up online for workshops ahead of time, since they're included with admission but places are limited, and once they're full, they're full.
- Buy shuttle bus tickets in advance under extras in the ticket shop, because they can't be bought on the spot at the station or the venue.
- If you drive, buy your parking ticket in the online ticket shop before you go, and note that the EV charging points are first come, first served.
- Bring a bank card for the cloakroom, which is card-only, and use the bag storage to keep your hands free while you shop.
- Leave the shopping trolley at home if you can, since visitors are asked to limit their use so other visitors aren't held up.
