Special Instructions
These tours MUST START ON TIME as wherever possible, we pre purchase entry tickets for fixed entry times at Christchurch. If you arrive after the tour has started, you will unfortunately therefore lose your booking. Please arrive 5 minutes early for your tour at our meeting point. If you arrive more than 5 minutes later than the scheduled tour, then you will likely forfeit and lose your booking as it interrupts the guide and other customers, if we are trying to find you after a guide has started and left the meeting point. IMPORTANT NOTICE IN CASE OF UNFORESEEN PARTIAL OF FULL CLOSURES: NB if we might offer you a Saturday morning tour to Christchurch, then while we can visit the HP film sites at Christchurch, we cannot usually show you the dining hall, as it is closed at this time. We do publish known Christchurch closures on this website page & we will advise of any closures at the time of booking or before the tour but occasionally some closures are last minute. In this event, our policy is either the guide can substitute entry for Christchurch to another college such as eg New college (also a Hogwarts film site). Alternatively, you may opt to reschedule your tour onto another date or to instead join one of our other tours running the same date such as the Oxford cycle tour of food tour (which cost approximately same). REFUNDS POLICY: If you opt to book a foreign language private group tour, this may be possible if you give us adequate advance notice of at least 24 hours. If we cannot offer a tour in a foreign language, then you will be refunded or invited to join the tour in English with any cost difference refunded. Christchurch Dining hall only is closed on following dates 2020 (the tour will go ahead as the hall is NOT the film site anyway): April 24 May 9 Oct 4 + Oct 9 While very rare, the film sites are private university and college venues, on very rare occasions they may suddenly close to the public without any advance notice!
