1. Course Information:

• We reserve the right to make changes to the published program of an Event, to include location and time; however, this does not entitle you to a refund, except for where your statutory rights provide for one.
• Children’s packed lunches, drinks, any clothing, outdoor clothing, hats, footwear, suncream & medical needs are the responsibility of their teachers.
• The hours of the tour day are as agreed in your booking confirmation. Just 4 Fun School Tours and its employees are not responsible for children outside of the above hours. Schools will not be taken into the venue before the times allocated. In the event of a late arrival by your school, activities will commence immediately and continue to the original scheduled time with no added on time.
• Children are not permitted to use mobile phones whilst under the direction of Just 4 Fun. Teachers should notify a member of staff if they are taking photographs of their group while at the venue.

• Should you not wish to appear in any of the images, please inform the Just 4 Fun School Tour Office when making your booking.
• For health and safety reasons, children may be required to remove glasses, shoes, socks, or peaked caps during certain activities.

2. Bookings and Payment:

• All bookings are subject to availability of the venue and date 
• When making a booking request by phone or email we will provisionally book the date and venue, however, this does not constitute acceptance of said booking.
