 A number of members of Arthur's Round Table (including Arthur and Merlin themselves) survived the Fall of Camelot and are known to still call the ruins home. They are still very much around and keen to find out about the world and to offer their advice.
-===== Quests =====
+===== Quests and Vignettes =====
-A number of powerful individuals are capable of taking people out of Camelot and on short Quests to locations in the Hundred Realms to achieve various goals such as rescuing people in distress, retrieving valuable artefacts, researching ancient secrets, saving villages from dragons and so on and so forth. There will be a number of opportunities to go on Quests across the course of the weekend and these are short linears where combat will be expected. The exact times, purposes and locations of these linears are not strictly defined, but broadly speaking if you want to go on a Quest at some point you should be able to. We expect, roughly, 1 Quest on Friday evening, 4 Quests on Saturday, and 2 Quests on Sunday (though this is not set in stone!)

 Weapons will also be checked before Jousts, the Melee and Quests by a present weapons ref. Do not enter any of these without having the weapons ref check your weapon again, and make sure to plan for this to ensure everyone's weapons can be checked in good time.
-===== Camping =====
+===== Accommodation =====
+By default, attendees will need to camp. Camping will be Out of Character and no tents can be provided by the site.
+We are able to provide limited indoor accommodation during this event with a priority given to those with access needs and to Crew first. The accommodation will take the form of a bunk house - bedding and mattresses not guaranteed to be provided. We have a further limited gender-separated indoor accommodation that we can provide for attendees who are not male. Please inform us either on your booking form or by emailing us if you would like indoor accommodation and we will assign based on needs.
+There are a number of wheelchair accessible toilets and showers with constant electricity - anyone heading to the main building for these reasons will of course be presumed OC.
-Huntley Wood is a campsite so you will need to bring your own tent and all will need to bring their own bedding as this will not be provided by the site, or hire one of the tents available from Huntley Wood themselves on their website. If, for medical reasons, you absolutely require indoor sleeping, we may be able to accommodate this but please discuss this with us at [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]]. We will also be sending out useful information and reminders to the mailing list as the event draws closer.

 ===== Accessibility =====
-The site we have for Event 3 is [[http://huntleywood.uk/venues/greenvale|the Greenvale at Huntley Wood]], which is a campsite in the woods in Staffordshire. It is therefore not completely accessible for those with restricted mobility, but the area we are using for Camelot should be. If you have concerns about accessibility please contact us at [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]]
+The site we have for Events 4-7 is [[https://www.scoutshw.org.uk/kinver-scout-camp|Kinver Scout Camp]], which is a scout campsite in the woods in Staffordshire/Worcestershire. The site has attempted to be wheelchair accessible and all areas we are intending to use for gameplay have step-free access. There are wheelchair accessible toilets and showers in the main block as well. If you have questions or concerns about accessibility please contact us at [[talesuntold.larp@gmail.com]].
+The main area of site we use for IC gameplay ("Camelot") is reasonably flat and is accessed up a hill with a gentle slope.  The walk between OC Camping / Cabins and Camelot is around 5 minutes.  The walk between Camelot and the toilets is 1-2 minutes, including access to the wheelchair accessible toilet.
+We operate Vignettes as strictly non-combat linears on a reasonably flat area directly next to the main camp.  Quests will have Combat and take place in a wider area with hills -- non-combatants can be accommodated in Quests with prior notice to the Quest Team during the event.
+There is a large hill with a slope or steps to the Chief's Lodge where we have previously situated the Font of Magic.  We are reviewing this location to move it somewhere more acessible.
 ===== Places Available =====
-For the second Event of //Tales Untold// there will be 75 player spaces available and 50 crew spaces. Player spaces cost £80. Crew spaces cost £25.
+There will be 75 player spaces available and 50 crew spaces. Player spaces cost £80 (£50 [[Policies#Concessions|Concession]]). Crew spaces are free.
+Meal Tickets are booked separately and cost £30.
 ===== Operation Management (Ops) Desk =====
-Throughout the game, a member of Core Team will be available through the Operation Management (Ops) desk. Any queries both OC and IC can be directed here at any time, and this is the best way to locate a Ref for a call to be made. Due to its location next to Conquest, the desk won't be accessible while Conquest is being resolved, and at night, but if you need a Ref during that, please knock on the door and someone will be with you.

+If you would prefer to self cater there are a couple of small kitchens, one in the Chief's Lodge and one in the Crew Hut.  The site is also close to Kinver Village if you would like to take a trip off site to get supplies or order food in.
