Dealey Plaza UK 2025 Seminar – the 30th!

Dealey Plaza UK is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year and to mark it, members are holding a three-day JFKA seminar at Ashorne Hill, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire from Friday 27th June to Sunday 29th June.
Information regarding the venue can be found at their website.
Although the three-day seminar will run from Friday 27th June until Sunday 29th June, rooms have been held from Thursday 26th June and will also be available for Sunday 29th in the event that delegates want to extend their stay.
Should DPUK non-members have interest in staying at the venue, there are currently extra rooms available at the time of this post.
- A single delegate weekend venue package is £545.60 and includes 3 nights bed & breakfast, 3 seminar lunches and two formal dinners (Friday 27th and Saturday 28th).
- A double occupancy weekend venue package is £751.60 and includes the 3 nights bed & breakfast for the partner plus the two formal dinners but excludes the seminar and seminar lunches.
Prospective delegates have attendance flexibility. One can choose full or partial attendance. For example, stay one or two nights or elect to just attend the seminar on a daily basis should one live nearby or wish to stay elsewhere, attend just the seminar and the two dinners, or not attend the dinners at all.
