Changes that do not reduce the number of sessions booked, to swap days for example, or changes to increase the number of sessions booked, can be made where available.

If you are booking a Monday we will also try and give you a space on another day following a bank holiday, but this must be arranged in advance. Decreasing the number of sessions booked will be reasonably considered, taking into consideration each circumstance, notice and the amount of reduction.
