Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets well in advance, as these popular sessions are known to sell out quickly, especially for specific dates and times.
- When booking, be sure to clearly state any dietary requirements for the chocolate selection boxes to ensure they are accommodated.
- Arrive a few minutes before your scheduled time to allow for parking and finding the entrance, as late arrivals may not be admitted.
- Consider the duration of the event when planning your day; the one-hour session is designed to be engaging without being too long for younger children.
- Dress warmly and comfortably, as while the venue is historic and beautiful, medieval buildings can sometimes be cooler than modern spaces.
