Are children allowed to attend the ceremony?
We strongly advise that you do not bring children under the age of 10 if you can avoid it. The ceremonies are not really suitable for children, and last up to 2 hours. Children will be required to sit still for this length of time, and as they can easily become restless this can become distracting for other guests. If you have no alternative but to bring children, there will be no charge for under 5’s but each child over 5 years old will need to pay the £25 fee and must be accompanied by an adult. There are no concessions. Everybody will need a ticket to enter the Barbican Hall.
