17 November 2020 14:00 IMPORTANT COVID INFORMATION FOR ALL  EVENT BOOKINGS

We are really hoping that after this lockdown ends we will be able to resume events, but this is not certain. We appreciate that customers are nervous about committing to dates before we know whether we can run them or not. With this in mind we will be adopting the following policy for all of our events moving forward, until further notice:

Should your event be cancelled due to COVID regulations/restrictions then you will always have the following options

- You can move yor booking to another date, look online and if you find a date that works please email contact@hiddenhorizons.co.uk (or reply to this email), with your original booking details and the new date you would like, we'll do the rest.

- You can convert your booking into a gift voucher, redeemable both online at www.hiddenhorizons.co.uk or in The Fossil Shop in Scarborough where we have our base. Vouchers have no expiry date and can be used to book events or buy items.

- You can have a refund for your booking. This will be processed as quickly as we can.

We hope this will give customers the confidence to make plans for some exciting adventures in 2021.

4 November 2020 17:00 The Fossil Shop in Scarborough has now closed but the online shop is growing all the time. If you live in Scarborough you can still select the 'click and collect' option and the collect your items from the shop. We will contact you to arrange a date and time to suit.

- The Fossil Shop will remain open in Scarborough from the Sunday 1 November to Wednesday 4 November, 10am to 5pm, before closing until the 3 December. We are aiming to get our online shop running in the next 72hrs and are looking at a free local delivery service in Scarborough plus some other exciting developments. It goes without saying that November sees a lot of Christmas shopping so please do consider supporting us online.
