The Machine Inn
Boutique en-suite bedrooms plus on-site apartments in the heart of Ashbourne.
CHECK / BOOK ↗PLACES TO STAY
Accommodation is grouped by area so you can choose between being close to the Friday venue, staying in Ashbourne for Saturday, or using the wider Derby area for more hotel capacity.
MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT
I’ve grouped the accommodation by area so it is easier to work out what suits you. Ashbourne is the obvious choice if you want to roll straight into Saturday’s pub session; Brailsford is closest to Friday’s venue; Mackworth and west Derby give more hotel capacity if the local rooms fill up.
Best if you want to be right in Ashbourne for Saturday as well.
