Booking for the national

Post by sgray »

Am I right in thinking that the National is definitely on at Harewood House on the 26th/27th June this year? Want to try and get some accommodation booked if we haven't left it too late but it's not mentioned on Harewood House's website.

Don't really fancy trying to sleep in the pickup - even in June.

I've not looked yet myself either - There should be lots of B&B's around though I would think.....?

Try a google search on Harewood House, accommodation. Seems to be plenty in the area.

Yes, I'll be there if things work out ok... and will look out for a few people including PSL 184, thanks....
Lovely place is Harewood House, I've done several shows there over the years..
Regarding those who are looking for accomodation there are some lovely villages around the area and even the larger towns are not that far away.
Will keep reading the post for more info..

What specific info do you need?

As already stated, if you're looking for non-camping accommodation just do a Google search for hotels, B&B's etc close to Harewood.

With regards to planning a route, you've got almost 6 months to do this and you'll probably find that nearer the time a few on here might be trying to organise a 'convoy' so you'll find someone to travel there with.

I expect that further details regarding the National will be published in the next issue of Minor Matters, along with an entry form, as this is normally sent out with the March / April edition.
