2. Do you accept group operator vouchers?
We accept vouchers from travel agents by prior arrangement. Invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt. Contact us to set up your voucher scheme.

3. What is your cancellation policy?
We will refund all fees if for any reason a group cannot attend. There is no need to advise us of a cancellation, but it would be appreciated if you did so.

4. Are there special rates for students, pensioners or tour organisers?
We strive to keep our admission charges as low as possible, so there are no concessions for students or OAPs, although blind people are admitted at the child rate of £4. Groups of over 10 visitors receive a 10% discount. 

5. How long does the visit last?
The duration of most visits is between 1/2 hour - 45 minutes, which includes time for shopping in our souvenir shop on the ground floor of the Museum. The tours are self-guided so you can arrange the length of the visit to suit your purposes. We provide a free written guide in various languages.

6. What is the minimum and maximum size for a group?
The minimum number of people required for a group discount is 11, and there is no maximum limit. A large group is divided into smaller groups of about 15 people, so one group may visit the shop while another group may visit the Museum. Some groups may need to wait outside if the Museum or the shop becomes too crowded.

7. Do we have to pre-book?
There is no need to pre-book, although it is advisable especially in the summer months, to avoid queing. We give priority to pre-booked group visits.

9. Do you provide an activity sheet?
Yes - please see the link to the quiz paper below. We are currently working on a much more extensive paper for group visitors.

10. What are the accessibility / disability issues?
Physically disabled people in a wheelchair would have difficulty in gaining access to the Museum because there is insufficient room for wheelchairs to be admitted to the lodging rooms upstairs. The shop on the ground floor is easily accessible via wheelchair and we welcome any person with disabilities.
