We are aware of certain financial problems that other festival organisers have had over the past few years and in order to assure our customers that we face no such problems, an account has been created in conjunction with the hotel for deposits (cheques only, payable when you book) and the balance is payable to the hotel by cheque, credit card or cash on the Monday morning that you leave. Please also note, for your protection we operate a money back cancellation policy against death and severe illness. Weekend tickets are available for local residents. These need to be prebooked due to the limited number of spaces available. If you wish to book straight away any of our coming festivals then please print the booking form, phone us to confirm we have rooms available and then send the form to us with a deposit cheque.
