Below we'll display the most frequently asked questions or visit the venue site below.

Are there recommendations for housing? Maybe a main/headquarter hotel where most will be staying?  

The majority of MT are staying at the Ramada Encore which is the closest hotel to the venue and we have been given a great rate.

Extra rooms are also available at the same rate of £87 per room per night incl breakfast for 2 sharing. The hotel will be providing us with a booking code in order to access that rate but I’m still waiting for it.

So for anyone wanting to stay at the Ramada please be patient and hold fire until we get the booking code. We will provide you with the full information regarding rates, codes, single rooms etc and how to book as soon as we can.

Just wondering if you have any idea of start/finish times for the event for those of us who will be booking trains

The current plan is to start 1pm on Friday August 5th and finish 10pm Sunday August 7th

If friends (non Collective members) want to come, would they need to learn the repertoire in advance?

If they are not performing they may purchase day passes or a show ticket for the Saturday performance which will allow them access to the venue 30 minutes prior to the performance only but if they want to perform it would be helpful if they have prior knowledge of the pieces and would need to register and pay for the Collective Live Weekend

What time will the Collective start on the Friday and what is the finish time on Sunday? My reason for asking is knowing how long to book a hotel for. 

Friday 5th August:
Start - 1pm
End - 11pm

Saturday 6th August:
Start - 11am
End - 12am

Sunday 7th August:
Start - 12pm
End - 10pm

These could slightly change, but that's the current idea

Should we register our non-singing spouses or partners also and pay the full fee? 

Just to let you all know that if you are coming to Collective Live with a family member who is not in The Collective, you have a couple of choices:

1. If they'll be with you in the venue for the weekend, then they will need a full registration pass
2. If they only want to be there for one of the days, they can get a day pass nearer to the event
3. If they only want to watch the Saturday night show, then they can get a Show ticket - please note however, that they will only be able to access the venue 30 minute before the show starts, and not for the the whole day
