Email reply from someone 'in the know'

I asked if it was public .......

Very public as I understand it.. they are probably still to announce the details of public admission. Best to advise people to keep an eye on that site for the latest. It is billed as fun for all the family with 'hangar shopping' to keep everyone amused!
