Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear way in for the van
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
