DD has an audition at the Hammond coming up soon, does anyone know of hotels that are close by?

 

Thanks

We stayed at Travelodge Warrington Rd Chester, which is only a couple of minutes drive from the school or a 10-15 mins walk down a country lane. There is a carvery restaurant next door to the hotel. Any of the Chester city centre hotels are only a short drive/taxi journey away as the school is only a few miles from the city centre. Good luck to DD for her audition.

Hoole is the nearest district to the school, so if you find a hotel on this side of town, you won't be far away! Some good places to eat in Hoole too, plus the school's uniform shop. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies, they've been a great help.

For me too. I've now booked hotel and train!

The travelodge is convenient but not great. If you can afford it stay on Hoole Road, there are loads of B & b's.

The Comfort Inn we found to be very good value for money. I think it was £25 per room when we stayed. We stayed at an absolute shocker pretty much across the road from the Comfort Inn last time as we couldn't find anywhere else. Never again!

Yea the Comfort Inn is good and just down the road from the school. They can be a bit pricey sometimes, but if you go on places like travelrepublic you will find rooms there for cheaper.

Slightly off subject, but on the Hammond website it says an audition date will be given on receiving your application - does anyone know if there is a deadline for applications?

[famcandance2]

No but they like you to get them in asap so that they can organise dates. Sometimes they have to put more auditions on than originally planned if they have lots of people auditioning. You can ask for dates, just look on the website for the school and it will tell you the dates they are offering at the moment. If you want to audition, I would get the application in as soon as you can.

[All4dancers]

We got dd's audition date within 3 days of sending off the application. It was for just over a month later, but the letter stated that you could request a different date if this was not convenient.

Have you tried the holiday inn express at Chester racecourse. I stayed there on Sunday after taking dd back after half term. Wasn't too expensive and wasn't too far from the boarding house
