All members of any group over the age of 16, are required to register for track and trace.
Are toilets available?
Toilets are available for limited access.
Are all the exhibits open to view?
Some of our exhibitions are currently unavailable, while works are continuing. However, your ticket will mean you can visit as often as you like through the season at no extra cost.
