       Booking Information

Welcome to Wellies and Wristbands, a festival-style event for Guides, Rangers and their leaders. The
event will take place over August Bank Holiday weekend, from Friday 27 to Monday 30 August 2021, at
Foxlease and Waddow Hall. Leaders do not require a licence to bring girls to this event but it is a
great opportunity to gain experience for or begin working towards the Going Away With Licence. For
more information, speak to your local Commissioner about the Going Away With Scheme. Standard
Girlguiding ratios should be maintained during Wellies and Wristbands.

In this pack you will find all the initial information you require to make a booking for the event.

Wellies and Wristbands costs £139 per person for leaders and girls (or £125 for early bird tickets
booked by the end of February 2021). Ticket price includes campsite fees, full catering from Friday
night until Monday lunchtime (including Friday dinner, Saturday and Sunday breakfast, lunch and
dinner, and Monday breakfast and lunch; snacks not included) and transport from the local train
station. It also covers entertainment, wristbands and all the fun of the festival – bands, adventurous
activities, relaxation sessions, creative arts and much, much more! All activities are open to leaders,
and there will be a number of leader-only activities and training available, so you’ll be able to join in
the fun too. Visit www.girlguiding.org.uk/welliesandwristbands for all the latest news on what will be
happening.

Bookings are accepted upon receipt of a non-refundable holding deposit of £100 per group and a
completed booking form, followed by an additional £25 per person four weeks later to secure the
specific number of places you require. To confirm your booking, please ensure that the full balance
payment is made by 31 May 2021.

By April 2021 you will receive further information about the event, as well as a request for travel
information, dietary requirements, additional information and event forms.

Participants will be expected to provide their own tents. Subject to availability, Foxlease or Waddow
Hall may be able to hire out tents for an additional charge. Please contact the appropriate centre to
make arrangements.

Please note: if necessary, leader’s children are able to attend Wellies and Wristbands, but they will
not be able to participate in the main activities of the event. Provisions for suitable activities will be
made where possible. The cost for children is £45, and a deposit of £25 will need to be paid to
confirm this space.
