The website advises that tickets are available, but won't process my booking?

There are 25 tickets available for this session but the ratio of tickets available to adults/children/children under 5 is set within that total to ensure that everyone in the group is able to fully enjoy the session. If you are not able to process a booking it may be because the limit for tickets available for either children or children under 5 has already been reached. Please add your details, including the tickets you would like, to the Waitlist.

The session is sold out - is there a Waitlist?

Yes, please add the details of the tickets you would like to purchase to the Waitlist - if tickets become available for this session, you will be notified. If there is strong demand, we may be able to schedule another session, please note that extra sessions cannot be guaranteed.
