If you are not a member, or you'd like to bring more people, additional tickets may be available for purchase. Non-members can also join us for free tickets to our regular events.

FAQs

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Email admin@appropriateadult.org.uk or call 07739 904858.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

Yes, as long as it is transferred to another representative of your membership account. Please let us know about any changes so that we can ensure your delegate has a name badge.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

It is helpful if you can bring your ticket with you as it helps with the registration process. However, if you do not bring the ticket you we'll just need your name.

What if I book but then can't make it?

Spaces are limited, and we want them all to count. It is very frustrating for members who have not been able to attend because all the places are booked, only to discover on the day that were spare spaces. Even though places at the event are free to members, they are not free to the charity, so please only book if you are committing to attending. No shows on the day and cancellations with less than two weeks notice will be subject to a charge of up to £45 to contribute to the costs incurred.

What are my transport options?

Train and London Underground stations:

Euston train and underground stations are approximately 2 minutes walk from the venue, being literally just over the road.

Kings Cross and St Pancras International train and underground stations are around ten minutes walk from the venue.

Book train tickets as early as possible to secure the best rates. You can check prices now at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk.
