Questions and answers

One payment for the whole weekend. The Full Weekend pass covers every event from Thursday to Sunday, every meal, your Gala dinner seat and the children's programme for the family. Your pass lives on your phone and is scanned at the door, at meals and at the Gala.

The planned prices are: Full Weekend £275, Young Bali (18 to 25) £150, Child (5 to 15) £75, Gala only £110, Fon's Circle patron £500, and the Overseas Delegate package from $650. These figures are illustrative until the venue quotes are final.

Rooms are booked separately. Our promise is that what a member spends stays in line with recent conventions, allowing only for inflation.

Yes. You can pay in instalments from the day sales open, through the registration app, and you can always see what you have paid and what is left. The final payment is due by 30 June 2027.

Payments are collected by country into local accounts, so members outside the UK can pay their own chapter's account in their own currency. Prices are set in pounds; any euro figure on this site is an approximate guide.

Sales are planned to open on the registration app in December 2026, with early-bird prices for the first weeks. Register your interest and we'll email you the day they open.

At De Vere Wokefield Estate, Goodboy's Lane, Mortimer, near Reading in Berkshire, England (RG7 3AE). Every event, every bed and every meal is on one estate, so there are no taxis between venues.

From Heathrow it is about 35 to 45 minutes by car, or the RailAir coach to Reading station. From London Paddington, fast trains reach Reading in 22 to 30 minutes. From Reading the estate is about 20 minutes by taxi, and we plan shuttles from Reading station and Heathrow at peak times on Thursday and Sunday. By car it is 10 minutes from junction 11 of the M4.

Times are indicative; please check before you travel.

No, rooms are booked separately. We are negotiating a room block on the estate, with a target of around £95 to £120 per room per night including breakfast. If you prefer, there are cheaper hotels 10 to 15 minutes away.

There is parking on the estate. Numbers and any charges are still to be confirmed with the venue, and we'll publish them on the Getting here page.

The children's programme is run by volunteers with an enhanced DBS check or the equivalent from their country, under a named safeguarding lead. Parents stay responsible for their children outside programme sessions.
