Morley Hayes Hotel, Morley, Derbyshire, DE7 6QA.
The 2026 conference will be held at our usual and popular venue, the Morley Hayes Hotel, Main Road, Morley, Derbyshire, DE7 6DG, from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd March, 2026.
The booking form and the programme are available on the links below and also obtainable from Richard Stock. Prices, including those for day visitors are set out in the booking form.
Inevitably, there will be a bourse and an auction with both being held on Sunday morning. We are led to believe that both are quite popular for some reason! When Richard Stock has further information, particularly prices for hotel accommodation he will let you know.
