On Site
When bookings open, come to this site and click ‘Book Now’. This will take you to our Booking site (coming soon). Then follow the instructions. You will be asked for a deposit of £100 for each unit booked.
Group Organisers
Please note we seek to put groups in accommodation near each other but this can only be done with accommodation of the same grade and size. If you would like to be next door to each other make sure you book the same type and size of accommodation.

On site discounts
Discount for CU & international students
Places available from £155! A limited number of units have been discounted and reserved for students. Standard self-catering apartments sleeping 4 people are available for £620 or £155 each for 4 people. You must book an entire apartment . CU bookings open on 31 August 2023.
Low income discount
We offer a bursary towards coming to Word Alive when the main income earner receives either Universal Credit, Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, has a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate or receives certain types of housing benefit. The bursary is £100 for each person attending Word Alive who is dependent on that low income, up to a maximum of £500. For example, a qualifying couple with two children would get a £400 reduction on their accommodation cost.
When you book you will have the option to choose ‘low income bursary’. You will then need to state the type of support or allowance you receive, of which you will need to send us proof. You will also need to fill in how many dependents are attending, for the cost of your unit to be reduced accordingly. Please note that the bursary is limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We are unable to offer reduced price half board meals.
