IMPORTANT!
We aim to keep this event as affordable as possible.
Not surprisingly, our costs have increased since the last event took place in 2018.
The costs just from the hotel (venue hire, bedrooms and food) have gone up between 9% and 32%(!).
This means our total hotel cost for the event has increased about 15%.
We are pleased to announce that despite these (in some cases VERY) significant raised costs we have managed to keep any ticket changes minimal with the highest increase being a very tiny 6% from 2018's ticket prices!
A couple of ticket options have not changed, one ticket has even gone down in price!
This section contains important information about tickets, bedrooms, the venue, and terms and conditions.
Please take the time to read it through carefully before you book your tickets.
If you have any questions you can call us for a chat Monday to Friday on 01929 554771.
Unfortunately tickets for this event are subject to VAT (a compulsory tax paid to the government).
