Lucky you! You have 12 months to activate your Membership from the date you received the email.

All the instructions for activation are on your Gift Membership Certificate, but if you don’t have it to hand, here’s what you need to know:

To activate a Gift Membership, add your chosen Membership to your basket. When you go to checkout, ignore the ‘promo box’ code at the first stage – this is not the box you’re looking for. At the second stage of checkout, you’ll see a ‘gift voucher code’ box – put your Gift Membership code in there.

Once you’ve entered your code, click the ‘Use available credit’ button. This will update the basket price to £0. Finish the checkout process, and congratulations! You're now a Barbican Member.

Nice! You have 12 months to use your gift voucher from the date you received it via email. You can use it to book tickets for any event

All the instructions for using your voucher should be in the email, but in you don’t have it to hand, here’s what you need to know:

To use your voucher:

Log in or create a Barbican account if you don’t have one already. Add the tickets you want to your basket and proceed to checkout. Ignore the ‘promo box’ code at the first stage – this is not the box you’re looking for. At the second stage of the checkout journey, you’ll see a ‘gift voucher code’ box – put your Gift Voucher code in there.

Once you’ve entered your code, click the ‘Use available credit’ button. This will update the basket price to reflect your voucher amount. 

If you’re putting your credit towards a Barbican Membership, then it’s exactly the same process, except you add the Membership level you want into your basket.
