UKPinfest 2025 - August 22nd, 23rd & 24th

[Big Phil]

Morning! You can book your hotel room now. The dates of the event are August 22nd, 23rd, 24th(August Bank Holiday). Call 01327 307000 and quote UKPinfest or you can email ha0i0@accor.com

£75 Single B&B
£85 Double B&B

As Thursday seems to be a popular travelling date now to avoid the mad Friday bank holiday traffic, the hotel have expended the discounted refreshments discount. I'll have to issue you all with a wristband though. So you get to wear one on Thursday too!

That's all for now.

Book away!

Have just tried to book but the hotel is stating they are only accepting booking for machine doners at the moment. Is this correct?

No, anyone can book now. I'll contact them.

 

[Bobbdobalina]

Just booked, no problems at all. Option 2 on the phone

Thanks Phil they called me back and confirmed the booking.

 

[FinalFight]

I just seem to be getting through then phone goes down now in a loop redirect to operator?

 

[FinalFight]

Sorted!

 

[broomstick]

All sorted only 51 weeks to go

 

[Big Phil]

Half the rooms have gone already apparently. If you know of a pin colleague who wants to go but has a real life and job to do, you'd best get in touch with them!

 

[Djrouge]

All booked in, Option 2 FTW

 

[AndyB]

Booked cheers Phil

 

[JustLikeMe]

Been years since I've been able to make a Pinfest but those dates are looking good so all booked!

 

[SilkySox]

Me too. Oh yeah.

 

[Lickashot]

Booked me and the Mrs in but experience tells me shoes will still be her priority

 

[JT.]

@Pinhead1977 you were asking in another thread about when room booking becomes available. It's now!

 

[Taxiturn]

I am booked for Fri and Sat night emailed earlier this morning and got a call back

 

[Steven]

Emailed 13:04, they called me 13:06, confirmed booking 13:09

 

[ItsOnlyDanO]

Booked for the whole weekend, finally gonna make it to a pinfest

EDIT: I am mistaken, Friday and Saturday already sold out! Thought I'd gotten the reservation.
3rd on waiting list at least....

 

[Crewey]

I emailed at 12:43,
Their response 1:15 PM

Good Afternoon,

Unfortunately we are fully booked for Saturday the 23rd now.

We do still have limited rooms available for Friday if you would like to call to book this?

 

[ianw]

Got the same email, emailed them at 11am, first ive missed for 13 years

Saturday is full

@Big Phil need a bigger boat in 2026

 

[Big Phil]

They've just emailed me. Fully booked. They're still being inundated with calls.

So, who has a list of the best alternative accom. in and around Daventry?

AirBnB shows availability not far from the venue.

 

[scotydoo]

Friday and Saturday both sold out - missed out for the second year - certainly getting bigger and bigger

 

[ianw]

Looks like a large camper needs hiring .....

 

[robotgreg]

Emailed 9am, received email back needing to fill out a form. Couldn't as was driving and couldn't do on phone. Tried phoning since 1230 and now 8th on waiting list. First time, attended evey single event at Daventry, won't be in hotel

 

[Wayne J]

There are lots of places not too far away though fortunately. Not ideal not being on site, but if people are staying in the same place can share a taxi to and from to reduce costs. Probably even cheaper than the hotel if you get in quickly.

Well that’s a bit ****….
Currently on holiday in Turkey. Saw the announcement earlier and emailed (09:30), since phone calls are a little more challenging here. Got a reply from Jasmine saying asking me to fill in a form (which I couldn’t do here as it isn’t mobile-friendly), so she asked me to call - have just called - she was in a meeting however advised that no rooms available and now on a waitlist.

So you get in early, only to find that (because of the hotels requirements) you don’t have a room.

Interestingly, they didn’t need any more info from me to put me on a waitlist - so why bother?

More chance of getting tickets to an oasis concert…
