Visitors with Visual Impairments and Assistance dogs

Luminarium is a highly visual installation that uses colour and light, however those with a visual impairment are welcome to explore the installation to enjoy the atmosphere and ambient soundscape. The luminarium is not an environment that is suitable for assistance dogs, so we ask that they remain outside, where we will happily look after them while you enjoy the luminarium.

If you have a visual impairment, please make yourself known to a member of staff on arrival who can provide you with some more information and guide you. 


Parking

If visiting Monday to Friday, please use the free parking at the West Entrance to University Park, and allow enough time to enjoy a walk around the side of the lake to reach the luminarium. On Saturday and Sunday you may use other car parks across the campus.

I haven't received the email with my tickets attached. What should I do?

You should have received two emails from us following your booking – a confirmation email, and another with your tickets attached.

If you booked online and cannot find your tickets, you can view them online by signing into your online account, and select ‘view tickets’. We recommend screenshotting your tickets to save time when you get here.

If you booked in person or over the phone and do not have your tickets, please contact our box office on 0115 846 7777 or email lakeside-box-office@nottingham.ac.uk.

Can I buy tickets on the day? 
Yes! Tickets can be purchased on the day online here, or at our box office. Please note, the box office will be busy and we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.

Can I bring my pushchair into the Luminarium? 
No, pushchairs must be left in our dedicated secure area, right by the entrance of the luminarium, which you will be directed to by one of our front-of-house team. 

Where can I get a baby under 18 months ticket? 
Baby/under 18-month tickets are free and can be pre-booked by calling our box office. They will also be available to pick up at the entrance to the Luminarium, so you don't need to queue at box office to get one on the day. 

Will I have to queue? 
Yes, the Luminarium is extremely popular, so you may have to queue for some time before you get to go inside. We aim to have everyone queueing for less than 60 minutes, but this is subject to how popular a timeslot is. Please come prepared for the weather as you will have to queue outside.

What happens if it rains? 
The Luminarium is well-equipped for the rain, and will continue as normal. In the case of extreme weather conditions such as heavy downpours or high winds, we may make the decision to close the Luminarium for a brief period- you will be notified of any changes and cancellations. 

If I can't make my timeslot, do I get to change it? If you do need to swap your timeslot, please call our box office on 0115 846 7777 ahead of your booked day to swap the slot. We cannot guarantee you will be able to get the slot you want, and cannot swap tickets on the day. If you miss your timeslot we unfortunately cannot offer a refund or swap.
