ON-SITE ACCOMMODATIONS (per person for two nights)

£60 B&B Main House
£30 Tower Bunk

Rooms in the Main House have been allocated by a lottery system.

Our accessible rooms have been allocated by a separate lottery for those with relevant access needs.

The lottery took place seven days after reservations opened.

If you have not yet booked or have missed the deadline for the lottery, you can request to be added to the waiting list. If rooms become available due to cancellations, we will offer them to those on the waiting list. Otherwise, we would recommend that you book alternative off-site accommodation or opt for a Tower Bunk instead.

Tower Bunks will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Reservations for Tower Bunks will remain open until all bunks have been allocated.

ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION: This is a period site, and as such is not uniformly accessible.

Please note that accommodation in the main house is limited. There is only one level-access room, with two twin beds. Tower bunks are dormitory-style, and up a narrow spiral staircase. Due to the limited number of beds suitable for those with access needs, unfortunately the event team cannot guarantee that your needs will be met, but we will do our best!

Main House Access: The bed & breakfast rooms are located in the Victorian house. The ground floor of the house is fully accessible on the flat, although one room requires going around the outside of the house unless you can manage a single step. There is one twin bedroom on the ground floor available on a first come, first served basis to attendees who are unable to manage stairs. Unfortunately this room is the only universally accessible accommodation available on site.

There is a selection of bedrooms on the first floor of the house accessible via a wide, shallow staircase.

Lighting in the house is subdued, except in the library.

Tower Access: The Tower (high) Hall is accessed by five shallow steps. The bunks are located on the first and second floors of the tower and accessed by a spiral staircase. Each bunk room contains ten double tier bunks (twenty beds). There are full toilet, shower and washing facilities on both floors. Dormitory bunks require you to bring bedding. If luggage capacity is a problem, please let us know at least two weeks in advance so that we can arrange to supply bedding. The Tower stairs and accommodation are well lit. Please do not venture beyond the second floor as the roof is locked and the stairs have not been renovated.

The Tower kitchen can be accessed by going down the same spiral staircase or via an external ramp and a couple of steps once indoors. Unless helping with the cooking or serving, you should not need to access the kitchen.

Gatehouse Access: Gatehouse accommodation is only accessible via stairs with dim lighting, one only via external stairs.
