Non-attending participants will forfeit their package and any associated inclusions without refund or reallocation. All attendees must be present to receive the full benefits of the package. 3. In the event that an activity does not show a weight or a height restriction, this is due to the experience not generally having a fixed one in place. However, if your individual circumstances regarding weight or height have historically prohibited you or a member of your party from participating in an experience or could bring in to question the suitability of the experience, more specifically if the participant is over 6ft4 in height and over 20stone in weight, please bring this to our attention prior to making your booking.
