Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.
I'm not quite back into normal routine yet as all the family have been here, but this week a regular schedule will return to the household...
Last year I missed The Festival of Romance as it was in September- it clashed with my son moving into university accommodation. So I'm very pleased that 2015's Festival is back to November.
Details
here. Dates: 6th - 8th November 2015.
This year the festival will be held a few miles from Stratford upon Avon (yes, Shakespeare country), and as there is the opportunity to secure exclusive use of the hotel for the festival weekend, the organisers would like people to book with a £50 deposit now- the balance to be paid in September.
The ticket price includes all events, and breakfast and dinner as listed in the programme details.
This link gives you the 2015 programme - looks like a great time.
For the history enthusiast,
the hotel was converted from a Manor House, but does apparently have the 'mod cons'- free wifi and parking. And a few minutes walk away is Charlecote Park, a National Trust 16th century country house.
If I'd been travelling by train as I did in 2013, I would have taken up the option of the extra Sunday night for an additional charge, but I'm taking the shorter travel route this year - car.
Now I have to start saving... :D
