Merlin will endeavour to ensure that as many rides and attractions as possible are available for use by guests at the Attraction. However, we reserve the right, without prior notice, to close and change the programme of rides and attractions and/or the Attraction's operating hours. Merlin in its absolute discretion reserves the right to close the whole or any part of the Attraction at any time or to restrict the number of persons having access to the Attraction.

THE ATTRACTION IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. All persons entering the Attraction must pay for admission or hold a valid ticket which has been obtained from Merlin, the Attraction, the Attraction’s website or a third party authorised by Merlin to sell Tickets. The sale of tickets/vouchers by anyone other than Merlin is strictly prohibited. Only persons authorised by us are permitted to sell or offer for sale any items to guests within the Attraction grounds. All tickets are non-transferable, not for resale and will become automatically void on any transfer for value.

Tickets purchased are only valid on the date printed on the ticket. Please check the Attraction’s operating calendar for opening times and dates. Tickets may not be valid for special events or concerts which may attract a separate admission fee. Tickets will only be exchanged or refunded if Merlin, in its absolute discretion, chooses to do so. For the avoidance of any doubt, pre-booked Tickets are non-refundable in the event that admission is refused or relinquished for any reason referred to in these Entry Conditions. Non-dated Tickets booked in advance do not guarantee admission to the Attraction, especially during busy times or on specific days when there are special events.

Tickets booked online will be delivered in accordance with Merlin’s delivery procedure. If Tickets are bought on behalf of other guests, the buyer accepts these Entry Conditions on behalf of every guest and shall ensure that these Entry Conditions are complied with by each person in the group. If re-entry into the Attraction is required, an appropriate hand-stamp or Ticket must be obtained, before exiting the Attraction which must be shown at the time of re-entry to regain access.  Tickets must be retained at all times and submitted for inspection if required by Merlin. 

School tickets are only to be used as part of a school trip and cannot be used at any other time.  Free teacher tickets can only be used as part of the school trip they were originally booked for and are not for personal use. School tickets are non-refundable. The age restrictions on school tickets must be adhered to.  Free teacher tickets cannot be revalidated; however any school pupil tickets being revalidated are entitled to the appropriate school teacher ratio for their age group. Teacher planning tickets can only be used prior to the school trip they were booked with. All school/college/university groups must have school/college/University ID to collect tickets, including planning tickets.

In addition to collecting your food, delivery will be available to your hotel room. Wait times are estimated and are subject to change based on demand and peak operating hours.

1.6 Sale of Food is subject to availability which changes from time to time. Whilst we make every effort to ensure that only the Food that can be collected from the Restaurant at the Collection Time will be shown on this site as the item that can be ordered for purchase, the Restaurant may not be able to provide what you have ordered or there may be delays in the Food supplied for collection due to things which are outside the Restaurant's control. If the Restaurant cannot make the Food you ordered available for collection at the Restaurant, the Restaurant will let you know [at the time of collection] and give you a full refund for such item using the same payment method that you used when placing your order. 

1.7 For information on ingredients and in relation to food allergies, please refer to information provided on the App.  Please speak to a member of staff about the ingredients in your meal before ordering.

1.8 Once you have placed your order on this site, you do not have the right to cancel or vary your order. If you wish to cancel or vary your order, and request this at the Restaurant in person,  the Restaurant has discretion in agreeing to your request and may agree to your request. However, the Restaurant does not have any obligation to accommodate your request and has no obligation to give a refund or offer an alternative product in place of the Food you have ordered on this site.

1.9 The contract for sale of Food by the Restaurant to you is concluded between you and the Restaurant when we send you an email confirming your order. Please keep this email confirmation as your receipt and present it when you collect your Food at the Restaurant.

1.10 The Restaurant is under a legal duty to supply Food that is in conformity with this contract.

1.11 The Restaurant only supplies the Food for private use. You must not place an order for any commercial, business or resale purposes.

1.12 If the Restaurant fails to comply with these Terms and/or contract between you and the Restaurant, we will not be responsible for losses that were not foreseeable to both you and us when this contract is made, losses which were not caused by any breach on our part or business losses or losses to non-consumers.  Nothing in these Terms however do not exclude or limit our liability for death, personal injury arising from our negligence or our fraud.

    1. Making your booking: The party leader must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all persons named on the booking and by their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us. No child or children under the age of 16 will be admitted to the Accommodation unless they are accompanied by an adult aged 18 years or over and such child or children whilst on site must remain under the control or supervision of an adult at all times. Merlin reserves the right, in its absolute discretion to change the age restrictions referred to in this condition, if any particular circumstances so require in the interests of safety and security.

      All bookings must be made online via the website named above, via our Customer Experience Team or through one of our authorised travel agents. Your booking will be confirmed by a booking reference, we will reconfirm this to you and provide your confirmation by email.

      At the end of the booking process, you are asked to confirm that you have read and agreed with our Booking Conditions. Your booking will be confirmed by a booking reference, we will reconfirm this to you and provide you confirmation by email.

      We will email you a voucher which will serve as proof of payment for both the hotel and Alton Towers theme park. You will need to exchange this confirmation email at the Pre-booked Ticket Collection Desk, located at the main theme park entrance at Alton Towers to receive your entrance tickets. Please take the confirmation email with you. This voucher cannot be resold under any circumstances. To redeem your entrance tickets at the theme park you will be asked for photographic identification and/or the original credit or debit card used to make the purchase of your Short Break.

      Please check your Booking Confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.

    2. Payment: Full payment is required at the time of booking.

      All monies you pay to one of our authorised travel agents for your holiday with us will be held by the agent on your behalf until we issue our confirmation invoice. After that point, your agent will hold the monies on our behalf.

      Please note: Alton Towers Breaks uses the merchant ID 'hex*altontowersholiday' or 'HXPAYMENTS', and this will appear on your bank account statement once you have made your booking and payment has been taken from your account.

    3. Your contract: A binding contract between us comes into existence when we or our Customer Experience Consultant / your travel agent gives you your booking reference. We will try to solve any disagreements quickly and efficiently. We both agree that English Law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (except as set out below). We both also agree that any dispute, claim or other matter of any description (and whether or not involving any personal injury) which arises between us must be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of Court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the Courts of your home country or those of England and Wales or the Republic of Ireland. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us governed by the law of Scotland/Northern Ireland/ the Republic of Ireland as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply).

    4. Identity verification search: We will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks, personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

    5. The cost of your break: Holiday Extras is committed to providing the best choice of product, at the best prices, so throughout the season we continually review our products and prices. There are likely to be some seasonal special offers and in some circumstances prices may go up or down. The price of your chosen package will be confirmed at the time of booking.

       

      We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error.

      All prices are for pre-booking and include VAT at the current rate of 20%.

    6. Changes by you:

      Bookings with Cancellation Protection:

      If you have added our cancellation protection to your booking you can change your stay date up to 36 hours before your arrival date.

      Bookings without Cancellation Protection:

      If your booking is not covered with our cancellation protection you can change your stay date up to 7 days before your arrival date.

      Additional Information:

      If you choose to change your stay date to a different date and should your new break be more expensive, you will need to pay any additional amounts at the time of booking. Where the new Short Break is cheaper than your existing booking, we will refund the difference. All amounts will be either taken/refunded to the original payment method. Any refunds which are due can take up to 14 working days to be refunded.

      Certain packages & promotional offers may be non-amendable, therefore, will be exempt from our standard terms and conditions. Any non-amendable packages will be highlighted on the event or promotion page and Help Centre.

      All other changes to your booking, including lead name, personal details, ticket entry date, and Essential Companion ticket refunds can be changed or requested up to 36 hours before your arrival date. You can request these changes through Manage My Booking.

    7. Cancellation by you: Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your booking once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise us. All cancellations must be made through Holiday Extras and are subject to the conditions and charges (based on the total booking cost) below.

      • Within 36 hours of your reservation - 100% cancellation fees will apply
      • Outside of 36 hours and up to 3 days before your reservation - 75% cancellation fees will apply
      • Within 4-14 days of reservation - 50% cancellation fees will apply

      Please note: The cancellation charges of winter packages or special event packages may vary. In this case, please see events pages for further details.

      Cancellation protection: If you add our non-refundable cancellation protection on to your booking (at the time of booking), this will protect you if you need to cancel for any reason.

      Provided you cancel your booking at least 36 hours before the date of your stay (or park entry date, whichever is the sooner), then you will receive a full refund of your booking cost, minus the cancellation charge and any additional charges. Please note that if you cancel your stay within this 36 hour period, you will be charged the full cost of your booking.

    8. Changes and cancellation by us: Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors on websites / brochures and other details. This may happen both before and after bookings have been confirmed, and we reserve the right to cancel confirmed bookings if necessary.

      Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. Significant changes include the following changes when made before departure:

      A change of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard.

      A change of accommodation area.

      If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:

      1. accepting the changed arrangements.
      2. purchasing an alternative Alton Towers break from us, of a similar standard to that originally booked if available. If the chosen alternative is less expensive than your original one, we will refund the difference.
      3. cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a refund minus the cost of any Cancellation Protection.

      Please note, the above options are not available where any change made is a minor one.

    9. Force Majeure: Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss (as more fully described in clause 9 (a) below) as a result of 'force majeure'.

      In these Booking Conditions, 'force majeure' means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.

    10. Our Liability to you:

        1. We promise to make sure that the holiday arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these booking conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury or your contracted holiday arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted holiday arrangements. Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers).
        2. We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:

          • The fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party.
          • The fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your break which we could not have predicted or avoided.
          • An event or circumstance which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see clause 9).
          • The fault of anyone who is not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time.

          Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised on our websites and we have not agreed to arrange them.

        3. The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided.

          Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description (a) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (b) which did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any business losses.

        4. You must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require. You must also tell us and the supplier concerned about your claim or complaint as set out in clause 11 below. If asked to do so, you must transfer to us or our insurers any rights you have against the supplier or whoever else is responsible for your claim or complaint (if the person concerned is under 18, their parent or guardian must do so). You must also agree to cooperate fully with us and our insurers if we or our insurers want to enforce any rights which are transferred.

       

    11. Complaints and problems: In the unlikely event that you experience a problem whilst on your Short Break and need to raise a complaint please follow the below steps:

        • When you're on your Short Break: if a problem or complaint arises whilst you're on your Short Break, please inform the supplier of the service(s) in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to the supplier as soon as possible.

       

        • Please note: We will not accept responsibility for any matter that you are aware of and do not bring to the attention of the hotel or Park during your break, thereby giving them an opportunity to rectify the issue.
        •  
        • If you remain dissatisfied, you must write to our Guest Support Team by visiting our Help Centre within 28 days of the end of the break you have purchased from us giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint.
        •  
        • For all complaints and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.

       

    12. Your Responsibilities: Bookings are accepted on the understanding that all persons travelling are normally in good health and able to fulfil the physical demands of a theme park break. It is your responsibility to ensure all members of the party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. British Citizens do not require a passport or visa for the Alton Towers hotel package we offer. Irish citizens require a full Irish passport to enter the UK. A full Irish passport takes at least 5 weeks to obtain. If you or any member of your party is not a British Citizen or passport holder and are travelling from outside the UK please check passport and visa requirements with the Embassy or Consulate of the UK and any other countries through which you are intending to travel. We cannot accept any liability or associated costs if you are refused entry onto any transport or into the UK as a result of failure to carry correct documentation.

    13. Conditions of suppliers: Many of the services which make up your break are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier's liability to you. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from the supplier concerned.

    14. Special requests and medical problems: If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.

      If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your break, please tell us before you confirm your booking. Please note: for guests who require disabled parking at the Enchanted Village Lodges, you will need to display a blue badge and ensure you have booked an accessible Lodge. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details.

    15. Financial security: For hotel packages with Alton Towers theme park entrance tickets, we operate a trust account. This arrangement means your money will be refunded in the unlikely event of our being unable to provide your break due to our insolvency.

    16. Call Monitoring and Recording: As part of our continuing effort to ensure you receive the highest service standards, we may monitor and record your call for training purposes.

    17. Checking-in: If guests are staying in the Alton Towers Hotel or Enchanted Village Treehouses please check-in at the Alton Towers Hotel. For guests staying in the Splash Landings Hotel please go to the Splash Landings Hotel reception. For guests staying in the Enchanted Village Lodges please go to the Enchanted Village reception.

    18. Directions: Please make sure you have directions to your hotel and the hotel's telephone number. Alton Towers Resort is well signed from the M1 and M6, basic directions are also provided on your email voucher. Directions should be used in conjunction with an up to date road map.

    19. Overnight parking: Parking for the night of your stay at the hotel is included in the price as and where indicated, otherwise a parking charge is payable directly to the hotel. Parking is always at the vehicle owner's risk. Hotels own car parks are unsecured unless otherwise stated.

    20. Holiday Extras star ratings: All hotel star ratings in Holiday Extras literature and websites are Holiday Extras own ratings and are based on the following:

      • Any official rating awarded to the hotel, for example: AA Stars, RAC Stars and ETB Crowns will be considered, but they would not translate directly into the equivalent number of Holiday Extras stars.
      • If a hotel does not hold an official rating, we evaluate it on a similar basis to most official scheme operators.

      In both of the above cases, when giving our rating we also consider:

      • Feedback we have received from our customers.
      • Feedback from our own regular visits to the hotels, both on business & as customers.
    21. Standard rooms: All rooms offer a private bathroom with shower and in most cases a bath (unless otherwise stated).

    22. Breakfast: Is included unless otherwise stated. Where included, please check the earliest time it is available.

    23. Leisure facilities: If available, may be charged for and certain restrictions may apply. For example children may not be permitted to use some or all facilities and some facilities may incur an extra charge.

    24. Alarm calls: As hotels do not take responsibility for alarm calls we suggest you take a travel alarm.

    25. Pre-authorisation at hotel: Please be aware that most hotels will ask you for a credit or debit card against which they can pre-authorise an amount in respect of any extras or other expenses charged to the room. The amount pre-authorised is at the discretion of the hotel and varies widely. In the event that any charges are payable you will be free to pay for these either with the pre-authorised card or by any other acceptable means.

    26. ALTON TOWERS Resort Conditions: Theme park tickets : Height and all other ride restrictions still apply. Guests are admitted to the theme park subject to the Resort regulations which are displayed at the main entrance to the theme park, a copy of which is available on request.

      The standard short break package offering is bed and breakfast where stated. For guests that add on a 1-day ticket, your entry day is the date displayed on your ticket. For guests that add on a 2-day ticket, your 1st entry day is the date displayed on your ticket and your 2nd entry day will be the following day.

      During the opening times of the Resort, the management of Alton Towers Resort will attempt to ensure that as many rides and attractions as possible are open for use by guests. However Alton Towers Breaks reserves the right to alter or change the programme of rides and attractions if at any time it is deemed necessary to do so.

      Tickets are non-transferable and accordingly may not be sold or passed to any third party. All persons entering the theme park must have a valid entrance ticket which must be retained during your visit. A child is aged between 3-11 years old (inclusive). A young adult is between 12-17 years old (inclusive) and adults are 18 years and over. Infants under 90cm enter Alton Towers theme park free of charge.

      Please note open dated tickets are not valid for events. Alton Towers Breaks reserves the right to transfer tickets to another date at any time or offer an alternative ride in case of ride breakdown. Please note height, weight and chest restrictions apply on most rides.

    27. Waterpark Terms & Conditions

      The Waterpark operates a strict adult to child regulation to comply with health and safety standards:

      • 1 person over the age of 16 : 1 child (4 years and under)
      • 1 person over the age of 16 : 2 children (ages 5 - 7 years)

      For the purpose of the adult to child ratio, an adult is regarded as a responsible adult over the age of 16. The responsible adult must accompany the children into the water. Entry may be refused if the policies are not met.

      Height restrictions apply of 1.1m on the Master Blaster. Bubbly Wubbly pool and Volcanic Springs have a minimum age restriction of 5 years. Children over the age of 3 can ride Rush and Rampage, however, if they are under 1.1m tall, they must be accompanied by an adult.

      For the interest of safety, the Waterpark will run on a one in one out basis if it hits capacity.
