• Please name the Student attending on the ticket – but use the best email address (parent or student’s) you wish confirmation information to be sent to.

• Please arrive in plenty of time before your time slot starts - we recommend up to 15 minutes to allow time for parking and registering at our welcome desk.

• Our events can get busy at times. If it feels overwhelming, please speak to a member of staff who will be happy to help you.

We look forward to seeing you there!
