Accommodation

The following is a list of accommodation within Elgin that we have put together based on those available online. Walking times have been provided from the accommodations from both the event hotel, The Laichmoray Hotel, and the ice rink within Moray Leisure Centre (none are over 1 mile away from either venue). Times are courtesy of Google Maps and may vary depending on your walking speed! All are accessible by vehicle. If you find that any are unavailable for the event weekend, please let us know so that we can update the page. Thanks.

The earlier your entry form, the more chance you have of us stocking your chosen drinks!
