Though there will be certain times when they are welcome and invited to join the practice and dance space, they will need to be kept safe and supervised at all times (throughout the weekend). To respect the focus of the weekend the dance spaces will be child-free the rest of the time.
Camping Option- Camping is an option or bringing your own caravan if you prefer to dorm accomodation, pricing is the same. Please note that though it is dorm accomodation, there are many more beds than we will fill so the dorms are quite spacious.
