About the rooms

Rooms are located in an eight or ten bedroom flat each containing a shared self-catered kitchen/diner, which you can share with other festival ‘flatmates’. The small double en-suite rooms are situated within the Park Group on the Whiteknights campus and each 4ft wide bed comes with bedding so that’s one less thing for you to bring!

All rooms will be set for double occupancy including towels, a bottle of water and toiletries. Includes all bedding – you do not need to bring duvets, covers, sheets or pillows with you.

The shared self-catered kitchen comes equipped with a toaster, kettle (tea/coffee, sugar & mugs provided), microwave and fridge – please note that no kitchen utensils or crockery are provided.
