Venue Information
(updated: 26 March 2016)
The venue for Autscape 2016 is Giggleswick School, Settle, North Yorkshire.
The 2016 venue information is not ready yet. We're working on providing more information. Watch this space! (Last year we had the same venue; you can take a look at last year's information to get an impression of what to expect. Please note that, unlike last year, this year we will have access to ground floor bedrooms.)
(Please do not contact the venue directly! You will find details explaining how to contact Autscape on our contacts page.)
Reason for choosing Giggleswick school
At the moment Autscape's income is under 25K per year. Due to increasing numbers and inflation our income is increasing each year. We use our income to pay for the Autscape event and the venue. Most of it goes to the venue.
Charities with an income over 25K have to meet a stricter regulatory regime. To meet these legal requirements the board needs to focus its efforts this year on making Autscape's processes more robust.
As a new venue takes up a lot of board time we needed to choose a venue we had used before. Giggleswick is the only venue that is familiar to us, accepting, large enough to maintain our existing numbers and low enough on price that we can keep our income under 25K again this year.
We have taken steps to ensure that we will have some ground floor bedrooms and accessible accommodation this time and the advantage of knowing a venue means the board can work it to our advantage and overcome some of the problems we encountered last time.
