There are generally no readmissions unless there is a very good reason for it so once you leave you can’t get back in.

There will be a wide range of food offerings Indian, Italian, Mexican, American, vegetarian, vegan and for donuts, waffles and ice cream for those who have a sweeter tooth.

There will be two main bars with a selection of beers, wine, cider and pre mixed spirit and 140 staff will be helping out.
