Does everyone staying in the accommodation have to attend the course?It’s flexible, for example that you might book one or two lodges with some girlfriends and share accommodation as much or as little as you like, eg book a lodge for 2 but if you’d like to share with more friends you might book it for 4 and the price is adjusted a little accordingly. Alternatively book lodges with your partners and leave them behind when you go to the workshops!
