Can i pls be added to the list? I may bottle out though! Smile

Rummikub · 05/01/2014 21:11

Albert dock has cheap ish hotels doesn't it? The Dolby and campanile?

morethanpotatoprints · 05/01/2014 21:25

I will come if it fits in with stuff here.
Not far from Liverpool and go regularly, but usually for other reasons.
There are loads of fab places and the people are really friendly.

CustardoPaidforIDSsYFronts · 05/01/2014 23:54

if anyone knows of a cheap hotel - let me know as they are looking very expensive

Trivago has rooms at the Radisson Blu for £68. No breakfast though Sad

MrsShrek3 · 06/01/2014 00:06

holiday inn and Thistle atlantic tower seem to come in around £80 ish for twin, is that too much?

see this

MrsShrek3 · 06/01/2014 00:12

this Is in liverpoolOne (so not far)
and quadruple room

Rummikub · 06/01/2014 00:49

The uni does accommodation, but have to stay 2 nights! For £48 a night.

When did hotels get so expensive! Even the campanile, which isn't that great from what I remember. I'm quite tempted to ring round and see if there's a group discount and one for mumsnet too!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/01/2014 21:17

Leaf does breakfasts, TheWoollybacksWife!

nopanicandverylittleanxiety · 06/01/2014 23:40

me too please?

PrettyVacant1 · 07/01/2014 07:01

This is happening m.facebook.com/GiantSpectacular from 23rd-27th.
It's amazing but also may explain why hotels may be full/expensive.

TooWetToWoo · 07/01/2014 07:39

Brilliant, thanks for that link Pretty, I saw them last time and it was really good. It got very busy though.

CuntyBunty · 07/01/2014 10:25

Why isn't BOF coming? She's north west, isn't she?

Cunty, she is. Is Lulumama still on MN?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/01/2014 20:44

Fucknuggets. We'll probably be in Canada at end of July.

Vix1980 · 08/01/2014 15:55

Can i Join too. Im from liverpool so only a short little ride for me to leaf,
Im not orange though, I dont have massive hair either - just incase you were looking forward to a real life orange scouser with hair that could take over the world joining you all. Smile

How do you all know each other when we get there though, I'd be afraid of going round the tables whispering pom bears to see who responds. There are trendies in Leaf and i'd get laughed at.

If anyone would like to meet up beforehand so you dont have to walk into the place on your own not knowing anyone please pm me. (will also help me not to bottle it at the last moment) Grin

p.s. yarn shops - elkilos is fab, off london road think its called abakhans though. I live in there most days!

The giants puppets are back in Liverpool for this weekend - could explain why the hotels are pricy. It's going to be very busy.

www.giantspectacular.com/

Heifer · 10/01/2014 14:34

ah, the event will be brilliant I imagine (saw the Giants previously and were fantastic) but it could be a nightmare for those people travelling in and not sure of the area as I'm guessing certain roads will be closed off? but not sure.

I will be coming over on the train from the Wirral so ok for me, but it will be very very busy, and hard to walk around.

Probably worth looking at a different date?

MrsShrek3 · 10/01/2014 14:40

That's true, Heiffer. Last time this was on, the whole walk route was closed to traffic and public transport was absolutely jammed.

How many people have already booked accommodation or anything non-refundable?
OTOH, for any of you wanting to make a weekend of it, it's absolutely amazing to see.

JodiA · 10/01/2014 23:02

Oooh finally found a Scouse thread Wink

Which areas are you all from? I'm Knowsley x

Custardo · 11/01/2014 07:57

righto

has anyone booked trains planes automobiles, hotels?

caketinrosie · 11/01/2014 08:31

Premier inn liverpool north has rooms for 35 quid. It is about a 15 minute taxi ride into liverpool and would cost about a tenner in a taxi or a 5 minute walk would get you to orrel park train station where you can get trains every 15 mins. I would loooooove to come as I too hail from the town of lambananas but I will have just returned from my hols stealth boast and I would be desperate for adult attention after ten days listening to my DDs delightful musings absolute relentless drivel please accept a decline from me with regret and a place on the reserve list. I would have painted myself orange and made my hair big and curly and everything Sad
