Geordie Broon has an idea of exclusivly renting a youth hostel out of season for a gathering, it would probably only cost about £10 per person for a weekend plus food. He mentioned a medievel castle with about 70 bedrooms and large venues for ceilidh, singarounds and sessions. Dinner is about £4 and breakfast about £3. I think it should be somewhere within easy access from either the M6, M1, or A1 but wherever it is it will probably be after the festival season.
