Contactless payments
We are now a cashless attraction. Please be ready to pay for items at the attraction with a 'contactless' bank card - we don't want more germs than we already have!
Do not travel if you have symptoms
Feeling a bit peaky? We would request you don’t visit the Dungeon – we’ve got enough buboes already! Please contact the attraction directly should you need to amend your booking
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Face Covering
Guests will be required to wear a face-covering/mask in order to visit our attraction - or else we'll send you to the Torture!
Guidelines
Pay attention to the new signs around the attraction with important safety messages and instructions... you wouldn't want to get lost in the bowls of the Dungeon, now, would you?
Social distancing
Social distancing measures will be outlined outside and within the attraction (you really don't want to get any closer to..well..anyone!)
Temperature check
None contact temperature checks will be a condition of entry and guests displaying a high temperature will not be permitted into the murky depths
AT THE ATTRACTION
Protective equipment requirements (PPE)
We have introduced Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements for our team
Enhanced cleaning
Enhanced cleaning will take place throughout the day
Hygiene stations
Hygiene stations and hand sanitiser will be available throughout the attraction– that means wash your grubby mitts and use the sanitiser provided- it (probably) won't kill you....!
Safety measures
Guests viewing entertainment, in the form of live shows or theatrical scenes, will be separated from the performances and each other in accordance with social distancing requirements. Dungeon storytellers will wear new historically-themed Dungeon face coverings (sadly even this won’t disguise the Plague Doctor’s stench)
Hygiene screens
We have installed hygiene screens at many of our service counters, to help physically separate guests from employees
