We will prioritise bookings from staff and volunteers at Accredited Museums and museums officially Working Towards Accreditation which are not National museums or National Portfolio Organisations (NPO). You’re welcome to book a place if you are not from a priority museum on the understanding we may ask you to release your place if the event becomes oversubscribed.
