Our events are extremely popular and many book up within the first few weeks. We strongly recommend that you book early to avoid disappointment. If you do have to cancel your booking please give us four full working days’ notice and we will happily send you a refund. Please note that these refunds can now only be made via electronic means because the University no longer issues cheques. Should you require a refund we will need a note of your account name, account number and sort-code. Payments originally made by credit card can be reimbursed via the same card details.
