#TheWarOfTheWorlds

We are running late, can we put our time back?

If you arrive outside of your booked entrance slot, you are not guaranteed entry. Whilst we will do our best to accommodate latecomers who arrive after their timed entrance slot, please note this may not always be possible. Please do make yourself known to a member of staff upon arrival and they will do their best to assist you.

Yes. Our small kitchen is run by an external caterer and therefore to guarantee you availability and a smooth efficient service we ask for groups to pre-order their meals in advance. Food pre-orders are required at least two weeks prior to the event date or within 24 hours if a booking is made within two weeks of the event date. Pre-booked food relates to a specific group booking and cannot be transferred to a different/future booking.

It is only possible to serve food to groups after they have been through the experience. Due to the size of our kitchen our food service is staggered for group bookings. Food will be served to each of the groups exiting the experience.
