Single/Shared room
You can have a single room or a shared room. It is your choice.
Information about the shared rooms
If you don't have someone to share with we can match you with a roommate. If you have no room mate in mind and you have no room placement requirements you may want to consider our cheaper flexible fee option instead.
If you know who you will be sharing with please state this on your booking. If this person is not on the same booking as you then make sure they also list you as their preferred room mate when they book.
Houses
Giggleswick school consists of several houses. We have four allocated to us. Our accommodation and conference areas are over two areas with a slope inbetween. At the lower end is the dining hall and the house with the sinks. At the upper end is a large building holding the other 3 houses, the presentation areas, classroom and swimming pool.
All houses are around the same distance from the dining hall.
Information about the flexible fee option
We have a low cost flexible fee option. We can discount this because if you take it you are using the unfilled rooms we may otherwise not be able to fill.
With this fee...
- We will not be able to confirm your room type until you arrive for registration at the venue (last minute changes do happen!).
- There is no choice in whether you are assigned a single or a twin room.
- There is no choice to which house you are assigned.
- You will be close to either a single sex or a mixed bathroom (there are cubicles). If you need a certain bathroom type you must book our shared or single fee and specify your needs in your booking.
- Your room may be on the first, second or third floor
- Your room may be at a noisy junction or in a quiet area (where you'll be expected to be quiet)
- We cannot take requests for room mates, or requests for rooms to be close to another person's with this fee type. If you want to share with a specific person or have your room close to a friend's please choose the shared or single fee option and specify your preference in the notes section.
Low Income
We give a discount on the adult fee for people with a low income. However we encourage you to pay the standard fee if you can afford it
Many of those who attend Autscape are on benefits and some people who are working for low pay have less money than some who are on benefits, so we don't have a clear cut way of deciding what is low income and we don't require proof. We encourage you to pay the full standard rate if you can afford it. If you have very little money and the small discount would make a substantial difference to your life, then you may pay the low income rate.
Members:
Membership of The Autscape Organisation, which gives you voting rights at the AGM, costs £5.00 and provides a £5.00 discount on bookings.
Carers/PAs:
Carers and PAs attend Autscape only to facilitate the attendance of someone else who otherwise would be unable to come.
