We are a venue that welcomes family groups, including those with children. We want to keep everyone safe and look after this unique heritage site. We need your help to do that. As a parent/guardian/adult-in-charge of children, it is your responsibility, when visiting us, to ensure they always stay with you, and that you do not let those you are looking after, roam the courtyard, terraces, shops, and bars, unaccompanied. This way, everyone can stay safe and have fun.
