As our public events are free, not everyone who registers for tickets attends. To make sure we have a full house we allocate more tickets than there are seats. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people. Admission is on a first come, first served basis, so please arrive in good time for the start of the event.

If you have any questions about this event please refer to our Public Events FAQs. Our FAQs includes a link to our privacy policy, which you can read here. If your question is not answered, please email [email protected]
