If would like to book one please let us know asap. Accommodation is at a subsidised price of c.£70 on Friday night and full price of c.£120 on the Saturday night.
Otherwise, if you require accommodation on either or both nights then there are several options in and around Bury St Edmunds which is only a short drive from Hengrave Hall.

The entrance to Hengrave Hall which will take you down the main drive way is signposted as the guest entrance, and the postcode is IP28 6LB.
It can very difficult to get taxis at short notice in Suffolk, even in Bury St Edmunds. If you require a taxi to and from a hotel or elsewhere we suggest you book well in advance.
