Lunches

We will be providing hot lunches at the dojo both days, so need to know your dietary preferences. The options are: meat (chicken and venison), vegetarian, or gluten-free vegetarian. If you do not wish to participate in lunch, there are few places to eat quickly nearby so we would advise picking your lunch up before the morning session. We are asking for a £2 contribution per lunch.

Accommodation

There are plenty of accommodation options in the local area, but you'll need to book ahead. In the worst case scenario, it's possible to stay in the dojo itself as it has showers. If you wish to do this, please let us know and bring a sleeping bag.

Below is a selection of local accommodations. You can easily find others via the usual search engines. If you are thinking of staying further afield, check distances and travel times, and be aware that the roads can be busy/slow at this time of year.
