Frequently Asked Questions:

You can move your booking subject to availability, however, the discount will not be applied and our standard administration fee of £10 will be incurred.
Will I get the discount if I booked an experience, dinner, or any ticket that is bundled?
Yes, discounted rates will be reflected in the children’s menu during this period. Any pre-booked children’s Afternoon Teas will also qualify for the reduced VAT rate which will be automatically refunded to you.
Hogwarts Table does not qualify for the discount as this is part of a package.
Will the discount apply to the children’s menu?
Yes, discounted rates will be reflected in the children’s menu during this period. Any pre-booked children’s Afternoon Teas will also qualify for the reduced VAT rate which will be automatically refunded to you.
What do I need to do to claim the discount?
If you have pre-booked at a 20% VAT rate that now qualifies for a 5% VAT rate, an automatic refund will be applied. You will be contacted in due course once the discount has been applied.
Our systems are currently being updated to reflect the changes, at this point if you book a ticket which is showing the standard price, a refund will be applied to reflect the 5% VAT rate.
I have a booking through a third party, will the VAT refund apply?
All tickets sold through official retailers are classed as packages and do not apply for the refund.
I live outside the UK, does it apply to me?
Yes, the reduced VAT will be reflected on all standard tickets purchased directly from the Studio Tour.
All bookings that are refunded into local currencies will be made at the corresponding exchange rate at the time of refund, which is subject to variation. We always refund the full amount in GBP and unfortunately cannot affect the exchange rate at the time.
I am coming with a school group, does the discount apply to our booking?
Yes, if your visit is within the Great British Summer Savings period, someone from our team will be in contact to start your refund.
Does the reduced price apply to Gift Tickets?
The purchase of gift tickets and bookings made using a gift ticket during the reduced VAT period do not qualify for the discount.
My card has expired/my account has closed how will I receive my refund?
If the credit or debit card used has expired, or the bank account closed, providing that either another account was opened with the same bank or a switch service was implemented, the refund will still be processed. It can however take up to 14 days for this money to be refunded, which is dependent on the bank or card provider.
If the card or account used has been closed completely and no switch service in place, the refund will be refused.
