Tickets for each event will be released around 6-8 weeks ahead of the event date. If your preferred date is not yet open for booking, sign up for updates.

Spaces are limited in our studios. Please book early to avoid disappointment and cancel your booking if you can't make it, so someone else can use the slot.

Let us know if you require any support or adjustments in order to access our venue no later than 5 working days before the activity. We will make reasonable adjustments where possible.
Please aim to arrive around 15 minutes before the start to allow time for check in.
Our studios are on the 6th, 10th and 11th floors, so you will need to be comfortable using a lift.
