Evening dance tickets: £13 each, £5 for those in full-time education, £4 for those 11 and under.
These prices include a supper with wine or soft drinks.

The space in the Sports Hall limits the number of dancers that can be accommodated. All evening dance tickets will therefore be on a “first come, first served” basis.

Wet weather arrangements

In the event of wet weather the afternoon dancing will be held indoors in two separate halls. Both venues will have live music. Gateways School has a Performing Arts Centre with excellent spectator facilities. The junior teams and a small number of adult teams will dance there. A full programme, including demonstrations, will be danced and Ian Slater will provide the music.

Parking is freely available for both cars and coaches on site at the owner’s risk. Caravans and camper vans may stay overnight, for a £10 charge. Please contact the secretary for further information and price.

Gateways School has a restaurant which can provide reasonably priced lunches and evening meals to be paid for at the time of purchase. We invite afternoon participants and spectators to have an evening meal with us as this adds to the atmosphere of the Festival. Unfortunately, because of limited space and time, we are unable to offer evening meals to others.
Please indicate on your application form approximately how many meals are required.
We will issue vouchers for the evening meal which will allow admittance to the dining room and will indicate a time for your meal. Vouchers pre-ordered for the evening meal will be available at reception during the Festival afternoon.

Should it be necessary to restrict the numbers dining with us vouchers will be issued on a “first come, first served” basis.

Pre-ordered evening dance tickets, not already dispatched in the post, will be available for collection from reception on the afternoon of the Festival.
Brief “recaps” will be given unless otherwise stated, but because of acoustic difficulties in the hall we cannot guarantee that they will be clearly heard.

Some accommodation is available in the Harewood village and in Wetherby. A wider range of accommodation is available in Harrogate, approximately 20 minutes away by road. Details of accommodation in Leeds are available from the tourist office at:Gateway Yorkshire, Regional Travel and Tourism Centre, The Arcade, Leeds City Station, Leeds, LS1 1PL, tel. 0113 242 5242 or via the web site: www.leeds.gov.uk

Please would team leaders ensure that all members of the team receive copies of this information. We would particularly like to draw your attention to the information regarding evening meals on the site.
It would greatly assist the committee if the contact details could include an email address if available.

In May we will send out tickets, programmes and directions plus cribs where requested on the entry forms. Maps can be taken off the internet at www.streetmap.co.uk by entering post code LS17 9LE. Alternatively maps can be obtained from the Gateways School web site at www.gatewaysschool.co.uk
