OPEN DAYS AND WEEKENDS

BOOKING SERVICE CLOSED

We are not yet ready to take bookings or have had to suspend the booking service for the next Open Days.  When we are ready, you will be able to reserve trips on the Open Day using a series of form on the Open Day pages.  Please note that your booking will be acknowledged automatically.  Also, do not try to book after 26/04/2024 at 1100 as the booking system closes then. 

You need to send a donation before the day and your booking is not confirmed until then. Pre-booked visitors who do not arrive at the ticket desk fifteen (15) minutes before the trip time may lose their tickets which will be sold to anyone waiting for a trip.

Other enquiries about Open Days can be e-mailed to the Club or you can go back to the general page on Open Days.

We normally take a maximum of 14 on a trip but accept about 7 or 8 advance bookings per trip.  However, in the last couple of years (post-Covid), we have cut down most trips to 8-10 visitors.  The routes can  vary during the day with some involving easy crawling or descents down a ladder or chain.  If you are unsure whether the trip is suitable for you, read the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) or contact the club.
