Ticket information
Choosing your ticket
We The Curious is an educational charity. We rely on income from ticket sales, donations and fundraising to keep our doors open and to run our charitable projects.
We want everyone to be able to access our venue and take part in our creative science activities.
If you are able to a pay a little more right now and are a UK taxpayer, we’d love it if you could add a donation to your tickets and opt in to Gift Aid.
This means we can claim support from the Government of 25% of what you pay.
Open concession
Our open concession ticket is a more accessible version of our previous concession ticket. This is the ticket for you if you would ordinarily qualify for a concession. We don't require you to bring any proof of your concession status.
If our standard prices are simply out of reach at the moment, you can also opt for our open concession ticket with no questions asked.
Late entry
If you’re visiting us towards the end of the day (after 3pm), you’ll notice that your ticket is cheaper as you’ll have less time to spend exploring.
Personal assistants
If somebody in your party requires a carer, personal assistant, support worker, or if you are entering as a foster parent then you can book a personal assistant ticket.
These are free and can be added on to any booking that contains an open concession ticket. This is valid for both day tickets and Planetarium.
Under 2s
Little ones are free, but we need you to book a free day ticket and free Planetarium ticket for them, so we can manage capacity and seating.
