Friends Events Programme FAQs

  • Tickets are first come first served. Events in the programme are very popular and so we cannot guarantee you will get a ticket.

  • Tickets for events range from £0 to £15, depending on the precise arrangements we have with the venue and the type of event it is. We will endevour to keep any costs to a minimum so as many of our Friends as possible can attend.

  • To ensure all Friends have a fair chance of booking tickets, we aim to release tickets two weeks in advance of event’s date. This will be announced via. our Friends newsletter.

  • Most events are open to all Friends. However those described as a ‘walking tour’ will be offered to Foundation (£12) and Keystone (£25) Friends first. There is one of these tours every month, they are completely free and drawn from our outstanding public tours programme.
