There will be snacks available to buy such as sweets, crisps and chocolate as well as hot drinks and soda beverages.

Local shops

There is a local shop about 3 minutes walk from the hall. This is just a small convenience store. There is a large Tesco about 10 minutes drive from the hall.

Takeaways

There is nothing in Alconbury but there are take aways that will deliver to Alconbury. Alternatively if you drive to Huntingdon (10 mins) you will find a range of fast food outlets including Indian, Chinese, dominos pizza etc.

Sleeping

In the hall

There will be a small room available as a quiet room during the evenings which can be used for sleeping. However, due to limited space sleeping near your table may prove the easiest option.
