VAT forms once home?

Hi,

We went to Ireland and England in July and I bought a purse at Bunratty Castle. The employees there gave me a receipt and an envelope to get the VAT returned. I didn't realize that was something that was supposed to happen at the airport (this was my first international trip). Is it too late now? I also have some stray receipts from England, but I think they need to add up to a specific amount in one purchase? Just wondering if I should go ahead and recycle the receipt and envelope at this point.

Thanks

File to the circular bin. The VAT return needs to be done as you leave the UK.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Now I know for next time. (Good thing it wasn't that much.)
