FAQ

Should I put off booking onto events?

No, it’s best to ensure you have a place at one of our popular events. If it’s one of our free to attend events, these are always very popular. If you are booking onto a paid event, then we have updated our terms and conditions to reflect the current situation. Delaying your registration may risk you not being able to obtain a place or cause the event to be cancelled.

What happens if my event is postponed or cancelled?

If we cancel the event, you are entitled to a full refund. We will endeavour to give you at least two weeks’ notice.

If the event is postponed, attendees will be informed, and options presented. For example, we will offer to transfer your registration to the new date, a virtual event, or if you are unable to make the new date being offered, we will accept a name replacement or will provide a credit note for you to attend an alternative event that may be of interest .

  • If you cancel your booking due to illness or you are in self-isolation, then we can accept a replacement name at any time (even on the day!).
  • If you cancel your booking more than 5 working days before the event, we will offer a full refund.
  • If cancellation takes place within 5 working days of the event and Government guidelines do not recommend closures and we have assessed that the event is deemed safe to proceed, no refund will be given but we will accept a name replacement or will provide a credit note for you to attend an alternative event that may be of interest
