Booking confirmation: Within 24 hours.

BMD sends confirmation to the email supplied at checkout after the operating date and capacity are accepted. The confirmed e-voucher includes meeting instructions, participant details and the BMD support contact. Where admission is included, the required attraction ticket or permit is also supplied. A payment acknowledgement alone is not an admission ticket. Use the contact on the confirmation and quote the order number for cancellations.

Cancel at least 72 hours before the confirmed activity start for a full refund of the activity amount paid, including associated taxes and mandatory fees charged by BMD. Cancellation later than this cutoff, late arrival that misses the activity, or a no-show receives no refund. The destination timezone and BMD’s receipt time determine the cutoff. Request cancellation through the BMD contact shown on the booking confirmation and quote your order number. If BMD cancels, cannot confirm the booking, or cannot deliver the agreed activity because of closure or unsafe conditions, choose a full refund or an available alternative you accept; a credit is never compulsory. Refunds are returned to the original payment method and initiated within 7 business days after approval; bank processing time may vary. Any material programme change requires your acceptance or an appropriate refund. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
