Ticket purchase, refunds and validity
Tickets are only valid for the date and time stated upon them. We’re a charity in receipt of no regular government funding and are heavily reliant on ticket income and donations. All booking amendments have a direct impact on our finances as a charity.
Pre-booked tickets are non-refundable and we’re under no obligation to refund or exchange tickets for other services or dates.
In the event that you’ve made an error in your booking, or if you absolutely can’t make the dates you’ve booked due to unforeseen circumstances such as child sickness or a positive Covid test result, we’ll require a minimum notice period of 72 hours to allow us to try and re-book you into a different booking time slot.
If we’re unable to re-book your visit or you’ve contacted us with less than 72 hours’ notice, we’ll do our best to rebook your visit, but we’re under no obligation to refund or exchange tickets for other services.
To move a booking please contact us through this form. This is the most efficient way for us to process your request.

Amendment to the Terms
We The Curious reserves the right to make changes to its website, policies, and the Terms at any time. You will be subject to the policies and Terms in force at the time that you use the website and or you enter into any transaction with We The Curious, unless any change to those policies or these Terms is required to be made by law or government authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you).
If any of these Terms are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that term will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining term and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.
Events beyond We The Curious’ reasonable control
We The Curious will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with its obligations under these Terms if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond its reasonable control. This term does not affect your statutory rights.
