Cancelling before you arrive
Follow this guide if you want to cancel before you arrive at your hall. To cancel after you've arrived, follow Moving out early .
Generally, you are bound by the contract once you've booked, but you can cancel your booking before you arrive. Whether you get your deposit back depends on:
- when you cancel
- why you cancel
