Sorry I won't be there on the day (all day conference in London that day) but my understanding is that it's included in the price of Castle entrance and is therefore free to Advantage Card...

yep that's correct - my ticket is the entrance ticket to the Castle (£18.50) and the exhibition is FOC. I then get the ticket stamped on the way out and its valid for multiple visits for 12 months -...
