Terms and Conditions for Advanced Bookings and Ticket Purchases
By booking tickets through the website horniman.ac.uk, my.horniman.ac.uk or horniman.arttickets.org.uk (the ‘website’ or ‘site’) you are entering into an agreement with the Horniman on the terms and conditions set out below, for the following type of tickets:
Entry tickets: general admission to the Horniman (if applicable)
Exhibition tickets: entry to a charged for or ticketed exhibition
Attraction tickets: entry to our Butterfly House and Aquarium
Event tickets: for entry to events on our premises or organised by the Horniman.
Tickets are valid only for the number of persons, date, time and entry stated on the ticket. Tickets are for single entry only. The booker is responsible for ensuring all the details of their ticket purchase are correct on receipt of their confirmation email.
During the visit, tickets must be retained for production on demand by Horniman staff.
We will not be responsible for any tickets that are lost, stolen or destroyed. Replacement tickets will be issued at our discretion.
We reserve the right at our discretion to alter our advertised arrangements for events, attractions and exhibitions, and to cancel any time slot or event or attraction or exhibition without notice. If this occurs and you have purchased a ticket we will where possible offer you an exchange or refund of your ticket(s).
If you are a UK taxpayer and have bought tickets that include a donation, the Museum can claim back extra money from the government through the Gift Aid scheme. You agree to contact us if you wish to cancel your Gift Aid declaration, if you have changed your name or address, or if you no longer pay sufficient tax to qualify for Gift Aid. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue & Customs to adjust your tax code.
Tickets that have been purchased and have subsequently been Gift Aided cannot, under HMRC rules, be refunded. We will endeavour to find a suitable alternative option for visitors in these circumstances.
You may not re-sell tickets without our prior written consent. All tickets sold are for personal use only, and cannot be resold, transferred or used for promotional, commercial or fundraising purposes. We will (subject to our sole discretion) refuse entry to any person who attempts to enter a ticket that has been resold without our written consent and no compensation whatsoever is payable by us if this occurs.
All transactions are shown in pounds sterling (£). All prices quoted are correct at the time of publication and where appropriate include UK sales tax (VAT) at the current rate.
Subject to these Terms and Conditions, tickets are not refundable. We reserve the right to refuse admission.
Nothing in these terms and conditions shall serve to exclude or limit the Horniman’s liability in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Horniman’s negligence or the negligence of its officers or employees or for any fraudulent misrepresentation or any other liability that cannot, as a matter of law, be excluded or limited.
No person who is not a party to these terms and conditions shall have any right to enforce any term under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
The Horniman may assign or transfer any of its rights or subcontract any of its obligations under these terms and conditions to any third party. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or subcontract any of your obligations under these terms and conditions except with the specific permission in writing of the Horniman.

Copyright
The Horniman Museum and Gardens’ websites are copyright of the Horniman Museum and Gardens. Material may be reproduced free of charge in any format or medium for research, private study or for internal circulation within an educational organisation (such as schools, colleges and universities). This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately and not used in a misleading context. Where any of the items on this site are being republished or copied to others, the source of the material must be identified, the copyright status acknowledged.
Some images on the site are copyright to external photographers. Where this is the case, the images are marked as such. You may not reproduce these images in any format.
Rights: collections online
The Horniman Museum and Gardens celebrates human creativity. It follows therefore that it respects and seeks to honour all laws and regulations designed to protect the rights of creative persons and organisations, including ourselves.
Rights exist to protect those who create, using their imagination, things that can be re-used. Collectively known as Intellectual Property (IP) rights, these take many forms. This policy applies in general to all forms of IP rights but it addresses specifically only Copyright. All other rights are asserted as per the law of the United Kingdom.
The Horniman however has in its care many thousands of items for which it has little information as to who created it and might have rights to protect.
The Horniman wishes to share the information we have about our collections. We do this mostly by publishing it on our website, but also and increasingly through collaboration with other organisations who publish our information and by making appropriate information available for download.
For this purpose, we seek to apply the minimum of licencing and protection to the assets we create, while equally protecting the rights of others.
Please note
: the Horniman Museum and Gardens cannot guarantee that your use of any content found on our website will not infringe any third-party copyright or other intellectual property rights. It is your responsibility to judge whether any of the content may need additional clearances for your intended use and to obtain them.
If we get it wrong
Although all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that material that infringes the law will not be present on the Horniman’s website or any publication or broadcast to which the Horniman has supplied material from its collections, the risk cannot be entirely eliminated. A variety of measures are taken to minimise and manage risk including the publication and implementation of this ‘notice and takedown’ policy and procedures.
Please contact us in the event that you are the owner of the copyright or related rights in any of the material on this website:
and you believe that the material may be subject to a third party ownership or another legal claim,
or you believe that use of this material infringes your intellectual property or any other rights.
We will withdraw the material from our website upon receipt of your written objection and our initial verification of your complaint, while the matter is investigated. Your objection will be acknowledged within seven working days of receipt.
In order to process your enquiry, please provide us with the following information:

Intellectual Property Rights
The contents of the website are Copyright © Horniman Museum and Gardens unless otherwise stated. Use of such copyright will only be permitted within the scope of the licence contained at “Your use of the website” above.

Copyright
The Horniman Museum and Gardens’ websites are copyright of the Horniman Museum and Gardens. Material may be reproduced free of charge in any format or medium for research, private study or for internal circulation within an educational organisation (such as schools, colleges and universities). This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately and not used in a misleading context. Where any of the items on this site are being republished or copied to others, the source of the material must be identified, the copyright status acknowledged.
Some images on the site are copyright to external photographers. Where this is the case, the images are marked as such. You may not reproduce these images in any format.
Rights: collections online
The Horniman Museum and Gardens celebrates human creativity. It follows therefore that it respects and seeks to honour all laws and regulations designed to protect the rights of creative persons and organisations, including ourselves.
Rights exist to protect those who create, using their imagination, things that can be re-used. Collectively known as Intellectual Property (IP) rights, these take many forms. This policy applies in general to all forms of IP rights but it addresses specifically only Copyright. All other rights are asserted as per the law of the United Kingdom.
The Horniman however has in its care many thousands of items for which it has little information as to who created it and might have rights to protect.
The Horniman wishes to share the information we have about our collections. We do this mostly by publishing it on our website, but also and increasingly through collaboration with other organisations who publish our information and by making appropriate information available for download.
For this purpose, we seek to apply the minimum of licencing and protection to the assets we create, while equally protecting the rights of others.
Please note
: the Horniman Museum and Gardens cannot guarantee that your use of any content found on our website will not infringe any third-party copyright or other intellectual property rights. It is your responsibility to judge whether any of the content may need additional clearances for your intended use and to obtain them.
If we get it wrong
Although all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that material that infringes the law will not be present on the Horniman’s website or any publication or broadcast to which the Horniman has supplied material from its collections, the risk cannot be entirely eliminated. A variety of measures are taken to minimise and manage risk including the publication and implementation of this ‘notice and takedown’ policy and procedures.
Please contact us in the event that you are the owner of the copyright or related rights in any of the material on this website:
and you believe that the material may be subject to a third party ownership or another legal claim,
or you believe that use of this material infringes your intellectual property or any other rights.
We will withdraw the material from our website upon receipt of your written objection and our initial verification of your complaint, while the matter is investigated. Your objection will be acknowledged within seven working days of receipt.
In order to process your enquiry, please provide us with the following information:
Your name
Your postal address

ID number
Name of Artist/Creator
