Re: National 2020 Hotel next to venue information n discount code
Hi Tina, That's the one, price has gone up to £86 now for the two days, I'd have thought that Thursday & Friday night would be better than Friday & Saturday night for most, particularly for nurseries and exhibitors. There's a 'Hungry Horse' pub next door. There's other Premier Inns nearby but that's the only one with free parking.

Re: National 2020 Hotel next to venue information n discount code
Hi
If you want early plant shopping enter some plants on Friday & you get a quick shop of the sale stands & Free entry to the National with NO queing, if all the stands are set up by then.
Also keep your membership card as you get reduced entry fee to the National.
it wasn't me but Bill Darbon who organised the deal, it is not the cheapest place to stay ( as Stuart mentioned) but is the most convenient as its a few minutes walk from the hotel to the Arena.Many thanks for getting a good deal

Re: National 2020 Hotel next to venue information n discount code
I just booked for the Friday night. Booking.com cost £49 inc breakfast. Cheaper than the £75 offer if booking direct!
It pays to shop around!

Re: National 2020 Hotel next to venue information n discount code
The Hilton offers the BCSS a 'concessionary' rate of £75 then sells the same room for £49 on booking.com. Well done Al for using YCS (Yorkshire Common Sense). I'm impressed.
