All tickets include accommodation and a festival wristband. This is to avoid overinflated rates during the festival week and to ensure sustainable prices for Kala for this year and beyond.

Most of the accommodation options hold 2-3 people. Speak to your group and decide how you are going to split the rooms in advance so you know what to search for. Eg 3 rooms with 2 people in each room.

You can book with just a £50 deposit per person and pay the rest at any time before the final balance date. The deposit must be paid by the lead passenger. Once the booking has been created, each person will be able to pay their balance separately. Make the necessary arrangements so the lead passenger has everyone's deposits ready.
