How to Book

Every year the IMC runs a varied programme of events, excursions, performances, craft and professional development workshops, as well as film screenings and our public engagement day: Making Leeds Medieval.

Some events and activities are subject to an additional fee to cover costs associated with hosting the event. Tickets for these events can be purchased when you register online. Tickets for any events that have not sold out will be available from the Refectory Help Desk during the IMC. In some cases, a separate ticket purchase or booking is required and will be clearly indicated on the relevant event page. Free events do not require pre-booking, unless stated otherwise.

Some events can only accommodate a limited number of participants, so early booking is recommended. All events are offered on a first-come, first served basis and we are unable to operate waiting lists for fully-booked events. If you will not be able to attend an event you have booked, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to another delegate.
