Directions to the hotel by car from the M6 at jcn 28 & M61 at jcn 8 Motorway then follow the brown tourist signs to Parkhall/Camelot it is easy to find. Bear in mind that often the Sat Nav takes you off the motorway early and through the small villages. The hotel is just above Charnock Richard Service Station. The directions from the hotel website seemed most concise. Website www.parkhall-hotel.co.uk there is ample car parking at the hotel.

Directions to the hotel by train are that the nearest train station is Chorley which is 4 miles away and a taxi from the train station is approx £7, TAXI COMPANY – COOPERS - 01257 261666. The Taxi Rank is situated opposite the train station at the bus station.
There is a local bus from the station that runs one an hour. Preston is 10 Miles away and a taxi from Preston will cost approx £15 or £20 depending on traffic.

If you know other people attending this would be a good time to get together and share a taxi or travel together. If you want to let me know your expected time of arrival at the station? I could let you know if there is an other members arriving at the same time.

There is NO CASH POINT facility at the hotel.
No shop is available on site, the nearest shop is at Charnock Richard Services or Tesco (24 hrs) a 10 minute drive away.

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side, we can rule the world.

If walls break down, I will comfort you
If angels cry, oh I'll be there for you
You've saved my soul

Shania Twain - Man! I feel like a woman.
Let’s go girls.
I'm going out tonight - I'm feeling alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise - really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout

No inhibitions - make no conditions
Get a little out of line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy - forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild - yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action - feel the attraction
Colour my hair - do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free - yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The girls need a break - tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance - we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy - forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild - yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action - feel the attraction
Colour my hair - do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free - yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The best thing about being a woman
