Do I need to book in advance?

We strongly recommend booking in advance online as sessions are capacity controlled and popular dates and times often sell out.

Your ticket includes entry to all the above activities with the exception of the Poison Onion Cannon (additional cost can be paid at the event if you would like to take part). Please note there is no ice cream included in the ticket price.

Are there tickets available on the door?

If we have availability, tickets may be available on arrival. However, we can't guarantee entry, so booking online is the best way to avoid disappointment.
