Right then what With the weather looking rubbish.....
I get a discount via work that entitles me to either 35% off a night or 2 night for the price of 1 at holiday inn and holiday inn express.
I've looked on there site and there is 2 options.
1. 2.5 miles from donnington - holiday in express east midlands airport- £83.99 a night (with 35% off)
2. 10.8 miles from donnington - holiday inn express - £33.50 a night (with 35% off)
I'm happy to offer this to everyone on here but I'm not just going to chuck the link up so anyone can come and book it. If you want to book the hotel, PM me and I will send you the web address to book. Please don't pass it on!
Also, I'm not going to give it to people who have signed up just toask for the discount!
Personally, I will be staying at the one that is 2 miles away. I know a lot of the fcs goers will be here so should be a good night in the bar. It's 88 quid but that's for a twin room so split between 2, it's really not that bad for a good night sleep
Prices are based on a non smoking twin room and that's price per room, not per person so works out cheap if your happy to share with a mate!
Oh and you get a free breakfast

I am 100% not camping I'm afraid. A nice comfortable night in a warm hotel with a proper bar is much more appealing...

From the ones I went to, I'd recommend the one which is further away! So much fun on the morning convoy to previous events, usually see lots of other show cars on the way. Plus it makes for a much better day in my experience.
Have fun either way kids, and don't talk to strangers.

Coat, umbrella, tent, gazeebo. How on earth is anyone gonna get wet?
To those who have a hotel booked, cool. But if you're camping, stay camping... it's gonna be one hell of a laugh, 10x more of a laugh than a hotel...

There's plenty of places to hide to not get wet, and a hotel is nice and warm

No, wasn't asked
I'm on the FCS official stand as I'm one of the writers for Performance French Cars - you'll find me there most of the day I expect, working.
