Accommodation

Hebden House Residential Block The conference centre offers excellent chalet-style accomodation. There are 15 rooms, mostly with 4 beds in "bunk" formation. They are spaciously arranged in 1970s-style pinewood design. Each bedroom has its own toilet, shower, four single beds, vanity unit and writing desk. We strongly encourage you to choose this option, not only for the opportunity of working and playing with other Geant4 colleagues in a comfortable environment, but also for value - the total cost of bed and breakfast is only £20 per person per night. Of course, this requires your willingness to share, and we offer you the chance to make up your own group and specify on the Registration Form. Also, since we have use of all 15 rooms, the mean occupancy might well be less than 4, depending on total take-up of this option. Note that for this accommodation, priority will be given to those wishing to stay 6 nights or more.

For those who do not wish to share, or simply want more luxury, there are the following opportunities in and around the town of Hebden Bridge, most within a quarter of a mile. You are responsible for making your own bookings. In most cases, rooms have been held for workshop participants and special terms (discounts) are available for booking before a stated date. Rooms cannot be guaranteed after that date. It is advisable to book as soon as possible to assure availability and discounts. Please quote "Geant4 Workshop" or give the name "John Allison".
