STEP 2: Are you interested in booking for a large group (10 or more) or an organisation/ institution (such as an architect's practice, University College, society group)?

If YES, GO TO step 3

STEP 3: Contact us, preferably by email at hhp@hockerton.demon.co.uk providing following:

• Name of organisation/group/business/institution
• Approximate expected number in your group
• State whether you wish to have a standard tour, technical tour, workshop or HHP master class (click here to find out which type of tour/event is most appropriate)

• Additional contact details - Telephone and address details
• Any special requirements

GO TO step 4

STEP 4: If we can meet your requirements we will send you a provisional offer via email or letter with a proposed date requesting your confirmation with a deposit (see costs below).

GO TO step 8

STEP 5: Check available dates for standard tours, technical tours, workshops & HHP master class in EVENT TIMETABLE below. (If you would prefer a 1:1 tour, please go to step 6). Can you make any of those identified? 

If YES, GO TO step 7

If NO, GO TO step 6

STEP 6: You can either re-check website periodically for new dates (we aim to do one standard weekend visit each month) or contact us and suggest an alternative. We will try and be as accommodating as possible. You can also ask to be put on a waiting list to be informed of new dates. Alternatively we may be able to see you on a 1:1 basis (see EcoScope).  Simply contact us by email (hhp@hockerton.demon.co.uk) or telephone (01636 816902) to arrange a mutually convenient time.
