If you are arriving on Friday, parking is still free, but please come back before the event and print out a permit to display on your dashboard to avoid charges and penalties. (If in doubt, display it!)
Accommodation options
Student halls are no longer available for conference accommodation, therefore the only accommodation on site is the limited number of bedrooms in the Jubilee Conference Centre (JCC). In order to maximise the number of people who can stay on site, enrolment those who are prepared to share a twin or double room and wish to book for both Friday and Saturday nights should do so. Limited availability Single rooms are now available to book until all are taken. (Non-residential enrolments are also available).
More than half the expected number of delegates at Harmony College will need to arrange their own accommodation at nearby hotels. To help you, there is a list below that you may wish to follow up, however this is only a suggestion and there may be B&Bs or AirBnB type options with vacancies nearby that are cheaper, as well as plenty of good value chain hotels in the city centre, which are drivable by car or taxi.
- The Orchard - 1.6m - see guide for booking with the promo code "LABBS26" before 13th March. Note that these bookings are non-refundable.

Check-in is from 3pm on Friday and Saturday. Report in and give your name to the Jubilee Conference Centre reception, same as any normal hotel stay.

and collect your pass in the coffee break afterwards.
