Early Bird tickets are non-refundable. We have to pay the basic costs for the Nottingham retreat in January 2012, so we are offering the Early Bird tickets until 6 January 2012 to encourage people to book early to generate funds to meet these costs. This is why we cannot offer a refund for the Early Bird Tickets.
If you need to cancel your booking, please contact the Bookings Team by email or post as soon as possible, so that if needed we can offer your place to someone else. We regret we cannot accept cancellations by phone.
Refunds depend on the date of cancellation as follows:
| Notice of cancellation | Refund amount |
| On or after 6 January until 29 February | 50% refund; 50% cancellation fee |
| On or after 1 March | No refund |
All participants are advised to consider taking out travel insurance to provide cover for cancellation due to illness or accident.
No refunds are payable for late arrivals or early departures.
In the event of Thich Nhat Hanh being unable to lead the retreat, it is our intention that the event will still take place, led by the monks and nuns of Plum Village, with the assistance of senior members of The Community of Interbeing. No additional refunds to those described above will be made in this eventuality and you agree to this by making a booking.
