There will be clearly marked special viewing areas. These will have strict access only by special wristband. Access to these areas will be limited to those with genuine need plus ONE additional guest as a carer only.
Priority will be given to wheelchair users. There will be a platform solely for the use of wheelchairs plus one carer only. This will have a limited capacity
There will also be a special viewing area in the main grandstand for the registered disabled.
You must contact us before 3 January 2025 to be registered for a special access wristband for this area and with any details of what we can do to help you.
We will require full details of your disability and any necessary certificates or proof of need.
If you contact us after this date, we cannot guarantee that you will be accommodated in these areas.
Special cases may be made for circumstances that arise after this date, but you must contact us immediately should your situation change.
Please note that these areas are strictly for wheelchairs and the registered disabled (plus one carer) not for those who just have a bad back or aching body part!
For those of you who prefer to sit, you can purchase seats in the grandstand - see above.
As there is no on-site stage / venue large enough for the concerts, we will be erecting a purpose-built concert arena next to the CenterParcs village as in previous Weekends here.
It will only be a few minutes walk from your cottage and is heated.
Bar refreshments will be available.
If you wish to have a seat in the seating area towards the rear of the concert hall then this will cost £40 per person.
Wristbands to allow access for this seating will only be available to buy from a dedicated desk in the Adventure Factory on Thursday at 11 am.
It is expected these will sell out VERY quickly.
As the signing and photos sessions at the previous Weekends were such a great success we have decided to run the competitions again for 2025.
Prior to 2009 we had long signing sessions which involved lots of queuing for you and repetitive strain injury for the band!
Consequently the band said they wanted to be able to give their very best for the performances in the evening but at the same time not sacrifice the chance to meet with 'The Family' so we changed things a little to ensure that happens.
In previous signing sessions part of what made the process take so long is having items signed AND your photo taken with the band. We realised that some of you only wanted one of these options too. We are also aware that many of you have had the opportunity to have items signed or photos taken on previous occasions and would probably like to give those who haven't a fairer chance of being able to this time.
Therefore we will be running draws to win a place in a more personal signing session or to have your photo taken with the band by a professional photographer.
To be eligible to win a place (for your entire party if there are more than one of you in your booking) you need to send an email with either the word PHOTO or SIGNING in the SUBJECT and your Primary Booking Contact Name and Booking Ref No, email address, no of people in your party and country in the TEXT body to convention@marillionweekend.com
Please send your entry from 2 December 2024.
Closing date 3 February 2025. All winners will be notified via email by 28 February 2025.

Opening hours and location will be printed in your Brochure which will be in your Welcome envelope that you collect at Check-in.
The band will be on site and available most of the weekend to mingle and sign impromptu autographs (although we ask for you to please respect their privacy when they are dining).
All children are allowed into the concert hall, but please bear in mind your child's ability to cope with the concert conditions. It is advisable to bring suitable hearing protection for your children.
We want all our fans to enjoy the Weekend but it would be unfair to other fans if their listening pleasure is disturbed by intrusive behaviour, overloud or crying children.
You are welcome to bring your camera phone into the venue, but please try not to hold your phone up all night taking photos - live the moment and enjoy the music !
Please do not film any of the show and would especially ask that you don't upload clips to YouTube or post clips / stream the shows live on Facebook.
Video cameras and recording equipment will not be allowed into the venue.
In accordance with Dutch Law there will be NO smoking allowed inside all public areas of CenterParcs.
You will be required to wear a wristband to aid our security during the full period of this event.

There is a strict "no drugs" policy enforced on the site. Anyone infringing on this policy will be asked to leave immediately with no refund or other compensation provided.
