Are there any lockers for luggage storage on site?

We’ve got more than 20 lockers available in our courtyard for luggage and larger bags, with a range of different sizes to choose from. They’re accessed using a QR code system.

If you’re planning to use a locker, we’d recommend arriving a bit earlier before your tour starts, just in case you run into any issues with the app or connection on the day.
