Every effort shall be made to admit latecomers at a suitable break where possible, but late admission cannot be guaranteed.
Please be aware that if you are more than 5 minutes late for the start of a session, your place may be passed on to other customers. If you are unable to attend your booked session due late arrival and your place being filled, you will not be entitled to a refund.
Please arrive up to 10 minutes before your slotted time as the experience will start promptly. E.g. If your session is at 11:15 - 11:25 then please arrive between 11:05 - 11:10.

It’s ultimately your choice whether you would like to book into either a SEND or non-SEND session but please keep in mind the SEND sessions specifically cater for those with SEND requirements. E.g. If you would like to book 1 SEND Child + 1 non-SEND Child into a SEND session then please select 2 Child tickets at the checkout.
We are committed to ensuring that our event is accessible to all attendees. When a wheelchair is present, the capacity of the elevator will need to be adjusted accordingly. A single standard-sized wheelchair typically occupies the space of 2 standing passengers. As a result, the elevator's capacity will be reduced from 8 to approximately 6 people, depending on the size of the wheelchair and other conditions. Please be mindful of this when booking your tickets.
Please note our Enchanted Elevator includes sliding door entryways and exits which allow 900mm of clearance to comply with Part ‘M’ Disability access, and the rear exit door extends 1074mm into the preceding space once open.
We encourage you to contact us in advance to discuss any specific needs or concerns at centraleandwhitgift-tickets@bakehousefactory.co.uk.
