Tips & Advice

  • Consider purchasing tickets in advance to save money and avoid queues, as 'on-the-door' prices are higher and availability may be limited.
  • Arrive early for the Chef Kate Austen restaurant, as walk-up availability is limited and it sells out online.
  • Take advantage of the 'Shop & Drop' service run by Suicide & Co to store your purchases and coats for a small donation, making browsing more comfortable.
  • Your ticket grants complimentary access to The Luxury Travel Fair, so plan to allocate extra time to explore both events.
