Booking for HISS 2026
Booking Info
Booking Options:
We regret that we have had to increase prices this year. We have been grateful to our venue, Bishop Burton College, for absorbing the price rises that we have all experienced over the past four years since COVID and other factors, but in line with many other organisations they are obliged to raise prices to cover their costs..
Please note: we urge you to pay in full if you can, however, please secure your place with the (non returnable) deposit of £75 to help our forward planning.
Please ensure the balance is paid before 18 April to take advantage of the “early bird” booking disocunt. Please pay by BACS (bank transfer) if possible to help us keep admin costs down. General booking closes on 18 June.
The fees Include ensuite accommodation (all rooms are single student study-bedrooms) for 4 nights and meals (breakfast, refreshments and evening meals). Lunch is not included (many participants take advantage of the kitchen aeras in the accommodation blocks), but is available in The Meadows dining hall. Please note The Meadows is a cashless cafeteria.
All fees include a £75 non-refundable deposit. If you are unable to pay the fee in full at the time of booking, please ensure that the £75 deposit is paid to guarantee your place on the course. The remainder of your balance must then be paid before the booking deadline.
If you wish to book extra nights, on the Sunday before, or the Friday the course ends, please do so directly with Bishop Burton College. Use this link to BOOK (state you are attending HISS to use the same room for your entire stay)
