Group bookings

Welcome

The Courtauld welcomes groups, whether from schools and universities or larger parties of visitors. To ensure the experience of visiting us is as good as it can be for everyone, we require advance notice of all group visits — allowing us to ensure there will be no crossover with other groups or tours that may impact your visit.

Group tours are available for educational and not-for-profit organisations, as well as visitor groups. If you are a corporate organisation looking for a guided experience at The Courtauld, please read more about corporate support, or contact the events team at venuehire@courtauld.ac.uk

We regret that there are no coach parking facilities at The Courtauld, although a drop-off point can be found nearby at Victoria Embankment. Visit our Plan your visit page for more information on public transport routes.

Schools, colleges and university groups

If you are visiting The Courtauld from an educational facility there is no charge to visit The Gallery. This includes primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities — both UK and international.

All groups must be booked in advance. Please see our Schools and Colleges page for further information and to book your visit.

All other groups

If you are visiting in a group of 16 or more people, please complete the form below. If your party is 15 or less you can book directly and you do no need to let us know in advance unless you intend on bringing or booking a tour guide (please email groups@courtauld.ac.uk). The maximum number permitted in one group is 20. If your group is larger than this you will need to book two time slots and split your group.

When planning your group visit, we recommend allowing at least two hours to get the most out of your visit. With our tempting shop and stylish Art Café to enjoy, you may wish to allow slightly longer.

BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

All bookings are subject to our Ticketing Terms and Conditions including, but not limited to, the following:
TICKET PURCHASE:

Before your ticket purchase is finalised, you will be asked to confirm that the personal details you have provided to us and your ticket requirements are correct. It is your responsibility to check prior to booking that the information you have supplied to us is accurate. Once your order has been confirmed by you, we cannot accept responsibility for or offer any refunds arising as a result of incorrect information provided by you at the time of ordering your ticket(s).

All tickets are valid only for the specific date and time and for the number of persons stated on your ticket(s). Please check your ticket(s) carefully at the time of purchase as mistakes cannot be rectified at a later date.

If purchasing a concession-priced ticket, please ensure that the person the ticket is intended for meets the correct criteria and brings proof of eligibility (as required by us and notified to you) on the day of attendance.

If a Ticket is resold or transferred for profit or commercial gain by anyone other than us or one of our authorised sub-agents, then that Ticket will be void. If you attempt to enter the Courtauld, an exhibition or an event with a ticket that has been resold without our consent, you may be refused entry to or ejected from the Courtauld and no compensation will be payable to you by us.

Tickets that have been amended, copied, or defaced in any way will not be accepted.

We reserve the right at our sole and absolute discretion to refuse admission or require you to leave the Courtauld at any point on the grounds of health, safety, or security, or if you do not comply with any of these terms and conditions (including if you arrive outside of the date and time slot stated on the face of your ticket), or if your behaviour at the Courtauld affects the enjoyment of the Courtauld by others. In such circumstances, you will not be liable to any refund or compensation from us.

Please keep your ticket with you at all times as proof of purchase. During your visit you must retain your ticket safely for production on request by our staff.

CONDITIONS OF ENTRY:

Smoking is not permitted throughout the Courtauld.

No food or drink is to be consumed in the Courtauld.

Pets or animals are not allowed except for assistance dogs.

Offensive weapons are not permitted and those found to be carrying them will be refused entry.

Any attempt to access any area of the Courtauld not designated for visitors is strictly prohibited.

Unnecessary noise (whether from a mobile phone or otherwise) or behaviour likely to annoy or offend other visitors or intimidate our staff, volunteers or visitors is not permitted. Please be considerate of other visitors to the Courtauld and keep noise levels to a minimum.

The use of illegal drugs at the Courtauld is not permitted.

Smaller, handheld bags are permitted in the rooms of the Courtauld. Rucksacks are not permitted to be worn on the back and must be held in the hand at all times.

For the safety of our works of art, you must not run in any rooms of the Courtauld, touch works of art, sit or lean against walls or plinths, or cross over rope barriers.

If sketching, you may use pencils, crayons, wood- or plastic-encased pastels/charcoal and/or fine-tipped pens in any of our galleries but you must not use any paint or other wet materials, charcoal, permanent markers, fixative spray, or oil pastels not encased in wood or plastic.

You may only take photographs without flash, except where otherwise indicated by a no photography symbol. Tripods are not permitted. Filming is not permitted without our prior consent.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS:

Tickets are non-changeable and non-refundable once purchased and we will be under no obligation to issue refunds where you have not attended the Courtauld at the time and on the date specified on your ticket or decide not to attend following your ticket purchase.

Tickets cannot be refunded in adverse weather conditions if an event still goes ahead.

If you are unable to attend because you or any other members of your party have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive for COVID-19 on or shortly before the stated date on your ticket (or if your attendance has been affected by COVID-19-related travel restrictions or your decision or requirement to self-isolate), please contact us in the first instance at groups@courtauld.ac.uk.

In rare circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel your ticket. If we have to cancel a ticket that you have booked in advance, we will attempt to contact to you to notify you as soon as we become aware that this is necessary, and we will attempt to arrange an exchange or refund of your ticket. This will be in the form of email for online customers, so customers are advised to check their email inbox before visiting the Courtauld to avoid an unnecessary journey should an event be cancelled. If an alternative visit date cannot be arranged, the Courtauld will then refund the full price paid for the relevant ticket.
