TERMS AND CONDITIONS
You are purchasing tickets from Kirkcudbright Dark Space Limited with registered offices at The Johnston, St Mary Street, Kirkcudbright, DG6 4EG
GENERAL
We sell tickets on our own behalf and on behalf of partner organisations. The quantity of tickets made available for sale by us vary on an event-by-event basis. Tickets are generally sold through several distribution points, including online, phone and in person at our box office. All distribution points access the same ticketing system and inventory, therefore tickets for popular events may sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional tickets may be made available at our discretion.
To purchase items from us online, you must be 18 or over and have a valid credit/debit card issued in your name.
COVID-19
All ticket purchases are subject to adherence with our safety guidelines. Visitors must not visit if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. All visitors aged over 5 years old will need to wear a face covering during their visit. If you have a condition that prevents you from wearing a face covering, we recommend that you help us to support you by wearing a lanyard from the hidden disabilities sunflower scheme or other organisations who offer exemption cards. Social distancing must be adhered to. We are operating a zero-tolerance policy to anyone who does not adhere to safety guidelines in place.
If you are unable to attend due to government restrictions or if you have symptoms of Covid 19 please email enquiries@darkspaceplanetarium.org to amend or cancel your booking. We would really appreciate if you can let us know as far in advance as possible so we can release tickets to others. Any bookings that are unused and not cancelled, for the reasons above, by email in advance of arrival time will not be refunded.
All paying visitors who require special assistance are offered free admission for their carer to all areas.
