Prices

1. What will ticket prices be for 2013

   We have thought long and hard over prices. 

   The majority of feedback stated that people would rather it cost slightly more to keep the numbers lower in order to get better quality of instruction and maintain the wonderful community feel ADV has.

   To afford the number and quality of workshops and keep the numbers low we will have to increase the cost a fraction. We also want to make our 10th birthday a special event   

   Prices are as follows:

   Early Bird before April 30th 2013  

   190 pounds

   After 30th April 2013 

   220 pounds

   Or 4 x Instalments of 55 pounds

   Child prices

   We have not altered child prices to make it cheaper for those with large families

   Under 5 free

   Over 5 and at school 22 pounds 

2. What do I get for my hard earned cash?

   There are approximately 15 workshops per day. You do not need to book workshops in advance. Workshops are for mixed abilities in all instrumentation.

   Every evening there are live performances. Thursday we have a chill-out day and have 'fake highland' games plus an evening Ceilidh.

   We do not charge for camping. We provide luxury loos (they even play music!) hot showers in the main hall and via a gas operated outdoor shower.

    

Camping and Arrival

1. What size tent can I bring and when can I arrive?

   If you arrive before the Monday of the festival you will be charged a suppliment of 50 pounds as we are not insured for public until the official start date.

   We advise you bring a tent suitable for our Scottish weather. A good ground sheet is required. Please don't bring huge tents as space becomes limited.

2. Can I use my Camper van

   You will be charged an extra suppliment if you use your campervan AND use tented space. eg, Camper and sleep in a tent / Awning

   Either camp in the van or a tent not both. You would be taking up Van space and Tent space. Unless you have a large family (we would require prior notification)
