Guided Tours

Group Booking Payment

A £50 deposit for Group Visits is required one month before your visit. This amount will be taken from your payment on the day. The deposit is non-refundable if your visit is cancelled less than a month before your visit.

Refreshments & Lunch

If your group would like lunch as part of the Museum visit, please choose from our  Group Visit Menu or our Afternoon Tea Menu. Both are served in our welcoming café overlooking the Italian Garden. Hot/cold drinks and biscuits/cakes are also available.

If you would like lunch as part of your Group Visit, this will need to be pre-booked, with a 50% deposit paid one month before your visit.

Please note that once numbers for lunch have been confirmed (at least 2 weeks before your visit), the full cost of lunch is payable, even in the event of cancellations.

Only food and drink purchased in the Cafe can be eaten there. We do have an outdoor picnic area which can be used by anyone who wishes to bring their own lunch.
