Where a concession is claimed, proof of identity and concession entitlement (for example of age or student status) may be required.

Visitor entry tickets are valid for entry to the Cathedral only during our normal daily opening times. They are not valid for evening admission or admission to separately ticketed events.

9. Health and Safety

Much of the present Cathedral was built hundreds of years ago. Whilst most of the parts of this ancient cathedral that are normally open to the public are easily accessible for all, the historic stone floor may be unpredictably uneven in places, entry to some parts is via stone steps or access ramps of varying gradients, and lighting levels may vary.

You are required to exercise due care and attention during your visit and to move around the Cathedral at all times with proper regard for your safety. We accept no liability for any personal injury or any damage to property caused by any fall, trip or by any other means except where this is proven to be the direct and foreseeable result of negligence by us or by Cathedral staff.

We reserve the right, acting reasonably at all times, to refuse admission to the Cathedral or to remove from the Cathedral without any right to any refund any person whose observed or reported behaviour may adversely affect the safety or well-being of others, or the quiet use or enjoyment of the Cathedral by others as a prayerful place of public worship, private devotion or Christian pilgrimage, or which may damage the structure or any contents of the Cathedral.

If any visitor in breach of any of these Terms and Conditions is a member of a group, then all individuals in such group may also, at the Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral’s sole discretion, be denied entry to or be escorted from the Cathedral without any right to any refund.

Groups must have an identifiable leader who is responsible and accountable for the group.

14. Our Commitment to Provide a Service

You are reminded that from time to time it may be necessary for us to close all or part of the Cathedral to sightseeing, sometimes with little or no notice. Canterbury Cathedral is an exceptionally busy working cathedral. Services held in the Cathedral are of varying duration and sightseeing visitor entry may have to be suspended in parts or the whole of the Cathedral during certain services. You are welcome to join us in worship. Entry to all Cathedral services is free of charge.

The Cathedral is the subject of ongoing major conservation and repair work, some of which is unplanned and has to be arranged at short notice when emergency repairs are required. This may result in one or more areas of the Cathedral that are normally open for public access having to be closed to the public, and possibly screened off or clad in scaffolding or similar.

Tickets will not be refunded and no compensation will be paid in the event of any such closure.

There may be times when the Cathedral Precincts are open to the public free of charge, while ticketed admission is still required to gain access to the Cathedral, during these periods, the rules regarding commercial activity within the Precincts will remain in place and will be enforced by the Cathedral Constables.

The Cathedral retains the right to remove from site any parties failing to comply with these restrictions.

 

16. Ticketing for Concerts, Exhibitions and Special Events (“Ticketed Activities”)

We reserve the right to make alterations to the published programme of Concerts, Exhibitions and Special Events as and when in our sole discretion we consider this to be appropriate.

16.2 Refunds and Exchanges

Except where we offer an applicable ticket exchange or resale facility, tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded after purchase unless the ticketed activity for which they were purchased is cancelled or rescheduled or where there is a material change to the ticketed activity, as further defined below. Where a ticketed activity is cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances beyond our control, or where there is a material change to the ticketed activity, you will be entitled to claim a refund from us in accordance with this clause 13.2.

A ‘material’ change is a change which, in our reasonable opinion, makes the activity materially different to the activity that purchasers of tickets for it, taken generally, could reasonably expect. The use of understudies in a theatrical or musical event shall not be a material change.

Where an outdoor ticketed activity commences but we are obliged to curtail it because of adverse weather, we shall not be liable to make any refund or pay any compensation.

Where a refund is sought you must bring this to our attention as soon as possible on becoming aware of such cancellation or material change or, where the ticketed activity has been rescheduled, prior to the rescheduled date. The refund will equal the face value price paid. In order to claim a refund, write to our Box Office at 11 the Precincts, Canterbury, Kent CT1 2EH, enclosing Your complete unused tickets. Refunds will only be made to the person who purchased the tickets and, where possible, will be made using the same method as was used to purchase the tickets except, at our discretion, where payment was made by cash.

16.3 Liability

All personal arrangements including travel, accommodation or hospitality relating to any ticketed activity and all costs associated with the same are arranged entirely at your own risk.

Liability for the cancellation or rescheduling of, or for material changes to, any ticketed activity will be limited to the refund as defined in clause 13.2 above.

16.4 Cancelled and Rescheduled Activities

It is your responsibility to ascertain whether a ticketed activity has been cancelled or rescheduled, and the new date and time assigned to any rescheduled activity. Where a ticketed activity is cancelled or rescheduled, We will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you using the details you provided us with when you purchased your ticket(s). We do not guarantee that you will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the ticketed activity. It is your responsibility to inform us of any change to the postal address, telephone number or email address that you provided us with when you purchased your ticket(s).

16.5 Restrictions on the Purchase of Tickets

Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number per purchaser. Any such restriction shall be notified to you at the time you purchase your tickets. We reserve the right to cancel tickets purchased in excess of a permitted number without prior notice, unless the purchase of an excess was due to our error

Age restrictions may be applied to ticketed activities in our sole discretion and or to comply with licensing conditions imposed by a competent licensing authority. Any such restrictions shall be notified to you at the time you purchase your tickets. We reserve the right to refuse admission, without any right to any refund, to any person seeking entry to a ticketed activity for which an age restriction applies if documented proof of age that we in our sole discretion consider to be satisfactory is not produced to our staff at the entrance to the Cathedral.

16.6 Restrictions and Prohibitions during Activities

The use of equipment for recording or transmitting (by digital or any other means) any audio, visual or audio-visual material or any information or data during any ticketed activity is strictly forbidden. Unauthorised recordings, films or similar items may be confiscated and destroyed. Any recording made of any ticketed activity in breach of these Terms and Conditions shall belong to Us. We will not be liable for any loss, theft or damage to any such confiscated items.

By attending a ticketed activity, you consent to filming and sound recording of yourself as a member of the audience, and we may use such films and recordings for professional and commercial use without payment to you.

You shall not bring to any ticketed activity or display or distribute at the activity (whether free of charge or in return for payment) any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials.

Mobile telephones and messaging devices must be switched off during the ticketed activity.

Alcohol may only be consumed during a ticketed activity if we provide a designated area that We have set aside and clearly marked for ticketholders to use for that specific purpose.

We will make every effort to admit latecomers to ticketed activities at a suitable point in the activity, which may be during an interval, but late admission cannot be guaranteed.

You may only leave and later return to an activity while it is in progress at our sole discretion.

You must not obstruct gangways, access-ways, exits, entrances or staircases, or congregate in non-designated areas or seek entry to locations or seats for which you do not hold a ticket.

16.7 Health and Safety

If you have requirements or concerns about any special effects which may be featured at a ticketed activity, you must notify us of such matters when you purchase your ticket. Special effects may include, without limitation, sound, audio-visual, pyrotechnic or lighting effects.
