Frequently asked questions
Booking a ticket helps us monitor how many people will be attending so that we can assure everyone is safe and comfortable.
The doors will be open from 11am to 3pm and while you are welcome to stay as long as you like, there is no commitment to stay for the entire duration.
Refreshments will be available on arrival and a light buffet lunch will be provided to help you keep fueled for the day. Please let us know about dietary requirements in advance!
Unfortunately not. We're committed to ensuring that support is available every day, no matter what, and so our Penumbra 365 service will still be offering its walk-in support within clearly designated areas and we ask that our guests be mindful of this.
Penumbra is located on the ground and lower floors of the MacKenzie building. There is a ramp for entry into the building and a stair lift which covers three steps to support anyone with mobility issues. There are also fully accessible toilets available on the ground floor.
