Lakeside En-suite Accommodation                         £655
Main House En-suite Accommodation                    £655
 
Part-Time Accommodation                                   £145 (Saturday from 4pm - £100)

For Part-time attendance, the rate is the same for all accommodation areas and covers from morning coffee up to and including breakfast the following morning. Room allocation will be in available areas and specific accommodation is not guaranteed.

Please note that Part-time bookings are only available from 1st June 2022 and cannot be purchased via online booking. It is advisable to contact the Treasurer (see below) after main booking opens on 1st February and provide details of your intended booking, whereupon you will be added to a list and contacted as soon as part-time booking opens.

Notifying the Treasurer of your desired days does not guarantee a part-time booking.

Part-time availability is subject to room availability on your chosen day(s) as at 1st June 2022.
 
Day Visitors                                                     £105 (£60 Saturday from 4pm)

Day visitors are welcome to attend from 9am to 11pm (4pm to 11pm Saturday).
A half-day option at £50 is available, either from 9am to 4pm or 4pm to 11pm, Sunday-Thursday.
You may wish to contact the Treasurer before booking.
 
Return Coach from Derby Rail Station                 £15.00

Travel times are 3:45pm from Derby Midland to The Hayes on Saturday, returning at 9.15am on Friday.

The fare is non-refundable except in exceptional circumstances (and at the Treasurer’s discretion) and can be booked separately from accommodation. Alfreton station is very handy for the Hayes and taxis are inexpensive. You may find this more convenient.

Any request for multiple sessions with the same tutor will be recorded and awarded subject to availability after June 30th. Refunds will be given should your request be unfulfilled, or you can choose another available tutor.
