Admissions Policy

This policy (the "Guest Admissions Policy") is adopted by Bison in the Community Limited which operates under the brand names of Planet Ice and Jurassic Immersive, referred to as the Organisation, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 07713846 and whose registered office is at Muckley Corner House, Walsall Road, Lichfield, WS14 0BG and its subsidiaries and holding companies and the subsidiaries of such holding companies (as such terms are defined in section 1159 Companies Act 2006).

The admission of guests to any facility operated by the Organisation is strictly subject to this Guest Admissions Policy. By purchasing a ticket to attend any facility operated by The Organisation, the purchaser agrees to be bound by this Guest Admissions Policy.

The Organisation reserves the right to refuse access to or order the immediate removal without any entitlement to a refund of any person who fails to act in accordance with this Guest Admissions Policy.

Tickets are not refundable, and Guests are responsible for checking their tickets at the time of collection (or booking in the case of an e-ticket).  The Organisation shall not be under any obligation to rectify tickets bought in error.  Guests may not resell or trade any tickets. Tickets can only be changed to another date if they have been purchased as part of the Reschedule Package.

Tickets purchased online for sporting and leisure activities including music concerts on a specified date are exempt from the Consumer Contracts Regulations (2014). If an event on a specific date is cancelled, rather than rescheduled, then a face value refund will be provided however the booking fee will not be refunded as this covers all the behind-the-scenes work that has already taken place.

Guests shall produce on request a valid ticket in order to be admitted into a facility. Each guest is only permitted access to and for the activity specified on the ticket. If the capacity of the facility is at the maximum when a customer arrives then they may be asked to wait until such time as there is sufficient capacity.

Guests shall retain their tickets, ticket stubs or e-tickets at all times.  Failure to do so may result in the guest being denied access into the facility. Re-entry to the facility is not permitted.

Ticket prices may change between the date of purchase and the date of the purchased activity. If the price paid for the ticket is greater than the price for equivalent tickets at the same activity, guests may not claim a refund for the difference.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to guarantee that a specific size of skates will be available to hire, and customers are recommended to contact the rink prior to their visit, especially when very small or very large skates are required. Additionally, it is not possible to guarantee that skating aids will be available on busy sessions.

Customers should note that the facility operates on a cashless basis and customers are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance using the facilities website.

Customers are expected to comply with all legal obligations, including any that relate to COVID.

Where a customer exhibits symptom of any disease they will immediately be asked to leave the facility and they will not be entitled to a refund.

Where a facility is an ice rink, customers may periodically be asked to leave the ice so that an ice cut can be undertaken in order to ensure that ice is maintained to the highest standard. This process will normally take no more than ten minutes.

One complimentary spectating ticket will be issued to a parent/carer in respect of under thirteen years olds (either attending as a group or singularly) when participating in an activity that involves ice skating.

In order to avoid disturbances to an activity, the Organisation may refuse entry to any guest who arrives after the activity has begun, subject to any decision by the facility management acting in their absolute discretion. 

Sound and video recording equipment (including but not limited to cameras and mobile devices with recording functions) is not permitted inside the facility without prior approval of the facility management. The Organisation reserves the right to conduct random bag checks in this respect and to report any guest found or suspected of copying or attempting to copy copyright protected material to the relevant authorities.

As the facility is used for multiple activities there may be sessions where the full ice is not available and that areas of the ice are restricted to specific groups or activities.

Guests shall not exhibit behaviour which is considered antisocial or disruptive by the facility management acting in their absolute discretion. Such behaviour will result in immediate removal from the premises without any entitlement to a refund. The Organisation reserves the right to require the removal of a group of guests if one or more of the group's number are considered to be behaving in an antisocial or disruptive manner. The removal of any guests from the premises may result in the issuance of a letter barring such guests from the premises in the future. The Organisation reserves the right to report any guest deemed to be exhibiting antisocial or disruptive behaviour to the police for further investigation.

One complimentary admission ticket will be issued to a carer of an adult disabled guest if ID is presented connecting the name of the disabled guest to the recipient of one or more of the following: Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Attendance Allowance (AA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Armed Forces Independent Payment (AFIP), is a registered blind person or has a valid Access Card.

The Organisation will refuse admission to an activity to any guest who, in the opinion of an authorised Organisation employee, is under the minimum age required for that activity and who cannot prove that they are at least the minimum age required.
