All workshops and activities are free of charge but must be booked in advance.
Please note we allocate one workshop leader per 20 students. If you have booked in over 20 students but less than 20 attend, you will be required to pay a cancellation fee of £90.
Cancellation of a workshop 14 days or less before your visit will also incur a cancellation fee of £90 (per workshop).
Workshops/tours may be cancelled (at British Library Learning’s discretion) if groups arrive more than 30 minutes late, for which a cancellation fee may also be applicable.
