Q:
My wife and I would like to visit the museum with our carers. Possibly on 9th or 10th of November. I am contemplating a joint local ticket but am confused with the pricing and what benefits are offered. Would you kindly confirm pricing and whether the price includes future visits in the future. We are both pensioners and are disabled with blue passes. I am 74 and my wife is 75. Some confusion also arises as our carers are my son and our daughter in law. They are not official paid carers and the do an awful lot for us, in fact my son would be providing transport for us. Perhaps you could confirm pricing with any concessions for pensioners? Many thanks in anticipation. Gordon Finch
