Feel free to get in touch with the Make CIC office at 0151 601 8665 or email [email protected]
Is my registration/ticket transferrable?
If you find that you cannot attend then you are welcome to pass your place on to a friend who may find it useful. Please let the organiser know if you need to do this. Alternatively tickets can be transferred to a future event up to 7 days before the event.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
A register will be taken at the workshop, it isn't necessary to print your ticket.

Please bring along a print out of your ticket if the registration does not match the attendee, or contact [email protected] to have them change the ticket so it contains your name.

There will be a short break during the session with the opportunity for snacks and coffee! Please bring along lunch/snacks if you would prefer not to buy it. All materials will be provided for the class.
What should I wear?
Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Closed-toe shoes are required. Long hair must be tied back and jewellery and any loose items such as scarves will need to be removed or tucked away prior to the class starting. These rules are for your safety and must be followed. It also tends to run a bit chilly in the workshop, as it is in a warehouse, so dress in layers and wear thick-soled shoes.
Can I get a refund for my ticket?
Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event.
Refunds will be offered in the event of the event being cancelled, alternative dates will be offered if appropriate.
If for any reason you find you are unable to attend then please get in touch and a refund can be offered up to 7 days before the workshop. After this date we can only offer a refund if your space is able to be filled.
This is because we pay our practitioners fair wages for their work- giving refunds on last minute cancellations would mean that practitioners would not be paid for the preparation they have put into their classes.
I have symptoms of COVID-19 or have been told to self isolate after being in contact with someone with COVID-19 can I get a refund?
We can refund your ticket or transfer your ticket to a future class/workshop if you let us know 7 or more days prior to the class or workshop.
We can refund your ticket up to 5 days before the event if you can provide evidence of a positive test result or instructions to self isolate if we manage to re-sell the ticket. We will do our best to do so, but cannot guarantee a refund.
We cannot refund your ticket in the 3 days prior to the event. You are welcome to pass your ticket on to a friend or family member but please let us know who the new ticket holder is in advance.
