Question 1

Can under 18s visit Turtle Bay Chelmsford?

Accepted Answer

During the day, everybody’s welcome to come in to enjoy a taste of the islands. Due to licensing restrictions, under 18s are only allowed into our premises until 9pm every day.
We also kindly ask that people under 18s are accompanied by an adult after 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays. 
We cannot allow under 18s to join a party doing Beach Brunch.

Question 2

Do you check ID?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do check ID if you are buying alcohol or entering after 9pm. We follow the Challenge 25 Policy so if you look under 25, we will ask you for ID.
We reserve the right to ask anyone to provide ID. If we ask you to provide ID and you aren't able to, we are legally obligated to refuse sale of alcohol, irrespective of your age.
We check IDs for validity and have ways of ensuring IDs are not false. It’s a criminal offence to use false or borrowed ID to gain entry to licensed premises or to buy alcohol. The maximum penalty for this is a £5,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison. If you are caught using false ID, your ID may be seized and you may be reported to the police.

Question 3

What ID should I bring?

Accepted Answer

We can accept Passports, Driving Licenses (including Provisionals) and proof of age cards that bear the PASS (Proof of Age Standards Scheme) hologram, including BRPs (Biometric Residence Permits) and Citizen Cards. We cannot accept photos of your ID.
