Cancellation

Plans change, and that is fine

  1. You can cancel a request or an approved booking at any time before it begins, using the link in your e-mail, without giving a reason. Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance, so that someone else can book the slot.
  2. If you would like a different slot, cancel your existing booking and send a new request. A cancelled slot is released in the calendar straight away.
  3. The City may cancel or move an approved booking because of events at the castle, works or unforeseen circumstances. It will let you know by e-mail as early as possible and, where it can, suggest a new slot.
  4. Sessions are not cancelled automatically because of the weather. The decision is yours.
