Thank you for your interest in coming to visit the Spike.
If all goes well we will be OPEN AGAIN from Tuesday 18th May 2021 for pre-booked tours
In the past we have been open to the general public on Tuesdays and Saturdays and visitors have not needed to book. As a result of the pandemic we have had to rationalise how we can offer tours:
- Tours need to be pre-booked (use this online booking system), or email heritage@charlotteville.co.uk
- Tours will last up to 90 minutes
- No refreshments, other than drinking water will be available
- The tour group must be from one Household or Bubble and maximum group size will be 5
- Visitors will be expected to wear face masks and guides will wear visors
- A social distance of 2 metres will be maintained as much as possible between Guide and Tour Group
- There is a minimum charge of £30 for the tour regardless of how many are taking part but, as each tour is effectively a private one, this is considered to be good value
- Initially we will only offer tours on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
- Tours can be booked to start in timed slots at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00 on each of these days
- If visitors are more than 30 minutes late for their tour then we may need to consider cancelling it or curtailing its length
- Prior to the start of each tour, our guide will inform you of the current Covid-19 safety rules that are in place
- The guide will need to double check the Track and Test data we have on record for the person making the booking
- Tours will need to be pre-paid electronic banking prior to your visit.
