\\SECURITY RESTRICTIONS AND PROHIBITED ITEMS

• This is likely to make entrance slower than expected. Please be patient if there are queues, and please cooperate with any security and search requests.

• There will be separate search lanes for those with possessions and we anticipate that these lanes will be significantly slower.

 

Our advice to ticket holders is to allow enough time for entry to be processed.
