Tips & Advice
- Book your Elf School tickets well in advance, as spaces are limited and sell out quickly. Consider purchasing tickets online to save on admission prices.
- Arrive at the museum promptly for your booked session time, as each activity lasts approximately two hours and is designed to start on schedule.
- While adult members get free museum entry, they still need to present their valid membership card and ensure their child has a pre-booked Elf School ticket.
- Allow ample time to explore the rest of the Weald & Downland Living Museum, as your admission ticket grants access to the entire site before or after your Elf School session.
- If other family members wish to visit the museum but not participate in the Elf School, they can purchase separate admission tickets from the daily admissions calendar.
