We apologise for the confusion over technical difficulties regarding tickets for the Glenfield Tunnel. ALL ticket sold will be honoured. Tickets are back on sale. NB if you are booked on the first 0930 tour on 6th July, there will be a slight change to the meeting point tba.

Due to safety reasons, we can only take up to 30 on the public tours into the tunnel. Eventbrite have ignored the limit. We will refund all tickets and start again. We offer our apologies to those of you who booked. We are refunding before offer tickets for sale again.

We have a problem with Glenfield Tunnel tickets sold (by donation) on Eventbrite. Tickets are showing as sold out. They are not but we have had to prevent tickets being sold while Eventbrite resolve the issue. Once the issue is resolved we will let you know so you can book.
