The good news - lower prices than 2008!

Child (High school: 11-18) £45

(Primary School: 4-11) £30

(Pre-school: 0-4) Free

The cost includes en-suite accommodation, all meals, and all weekend activities. Although Hothorpe Hall’s charges have risen slightly, we have set the prices for this year’s Parish Weekend lower than in 2008, and simplified the pricing structure, to encourage as many as possible to attend. In particular, thanks to an extremely generous donation, we have been able to make the child rate very low, so that families are more easily able to afford to come. Also, you only pay for your oldest two children - any further children are free. We really want to encourage families to come! If you would like to make a donation to a bursary fund to assist others, please indicate on the booking form. If you need to take advantage of the bursary fund (for full or part fees) - and please don’t be embarrassed to ask, that’s what it’s there for - please speak to David in complete confidence, and he will sort it out for you.
