1. Memberships

1.1 Non-Refundable and Non-Transferable:

We are delighted to offer memberships to The Linen Hall, which come with a host of exclusive benefits and privileges. Please note that all memberships sold by The Linen Hall are non-refundable and non-transferable at all times. Once a membership is purchased, it is considered final, and no refunds or transfers to another individual will be permitted.

We encourage customers to carefully consider the membership options available and their respective benefits before making a purchase. Our team is available to provide any necessary information or clarification to assist you in choosing the most suitable membership for your needs.

1.2 Membership Duration and Privileges:

The duration of each membership is clearly specified during the purchase process, and members will be entitled to the membership benefits and privileges for the specified period.

It is important to note that the benefits and privileges associated with the membership are exclusive to the named member only. These benefits cannot be used by any other individual, as they are intended to enhance the experience and engagement of the specific member with The Linen Hall.

Should you have any questions about the duration of your membership or the privileges included, our team is readily available to provide the necessary information and assist with any queries.

1.3 Membership Renewal and Expiry:

To continue enjoying the benefits and privileges of your membership, we offer convenient membership renewal options. Members will receive reminders regarding their membership expiry, and we encourage timely renewal to ensure uninterrupted access to the membership perks.

Please be aware that once a membership has expired, access to exclusive benefits will cease, and members will need to renew their membership to resume enjoying these privileges.

1.4 Membership Card:

Upon becoming a member of The Linen Hall, each member will be issued Linen Hall Membership Card. This card serves as proof of membership and must be presented when availing of membership benefits, including discounts and exclusive access to certain events.

At The Linen Hall, we take pride in providing exceptional experiences to our valued members. We appreciate your understanding of our membership policies, which are designed to ensure fairness and transparency in the membership process. If you have any inquiries or require assistance, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team. Thank you for choosing to be a part of The Linen Hall’s esteemed membership community.

2. Event Tickets Policy

At The Linen Hall, we strive to provide our customers with memorable and enjoyable experiences at our events. To ensure the smooth running of these events and to accommodate all attendees, we have the following policies in place:

2.1 Ticket Sales, Refunds & Changes:

All tickets sold for events, workshops, and other ticketed activities, are non-refundable or exchangeable under any circumstances. If a ticket buyer is unable to attend an event, they have the option to pass the ticket to a friend or family member. To facilitate the transfer, The Linen Hall must be notified at least 24 hours before the event, providing the details of the new ticket holder. In the case where the ticket was purchased at a discounted member price and the recipient is not a member, The Linen Hall reserves the right to charge the remaining amount up to the full-priced ticket.

2.2 Timely Arrival at Events:

We kindly request all ticket holders to arrive at events in a timely manner. Arriving on time helps to avoid disruptions to the event and ensures that all participants can fully engage in the scheduled activities.

2.3 Late Arrival Considerations:

Please be aware that if you arrive after an event has started, there is a possibility that you may not be admitted. This measure is taken to minimise interruptions and to maintain the flow of the event for the benefit of all attendees.

2.4 Booking-Only Policy:

The Linen Hall operates on a booking-only policy for most of our events. Customers are encouraged to reserve their tickets in advance through our website or in-person at our physical location.

2.5 Limited Walk-Ins:

While we usually operate on a booking-only basis, we may consider walk-in visitors if the number of bookings is significantly smaller than our event capacity. However, this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

2.6 EVENT RECORDINGS:

All Linen Hall Library events may be recorded, and photographs, audio and video of the events used across traditional and digital media for the purposes of promoting the Linen Hall Library and its partners.

This includes, but is not limited to, websites, social media, podcasts, print, radio and TV. All recording will focus on the speakers/performers at an event, but it is possible that audience members may be captured in the background, either during an event or in a Q&A session at the end of an event.

By purchasing this event ticket, you consent to being recorded during the event and agree for Linen Hall Library to use recordings of the event you attend for promotional purposes. 

2.7 Fully Booked Events:

For events that have reached full capacity with all available bookings filled, we regretfully cannot permit admission of any additional visitors. This policy ensures that all attendees can comfortably participate in the event without overcrowding.

By adhering to these policies, we aim to create an organised and enjoyable experience for all event attendees. Your cooperation in arriving on time and making advance bookings is greatly appreciated, as it allows us to better plan and cater to the needs of our valued customers.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain the quality of our events and services at The Linen Hall. We look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming events and ensuring you have a memorable time with us.
