Budget A.B. Hotel close to venue offers a number of rooms with attractive rates.
Altstadthotel Grauer Wolf offers nice rooms for set dancers. Please book early and refer to the 2026 Erlangen Irish Set Dance Weekend. If you book Grauer Wolf online, you need a discount code (Rabatt Code): please send me a private message and I will pass it on to you.
Another nice hotel very close to the venue is Altmanns Stube. Please book directly with the hotel and refer to the 2026 Erlangen Irish Set Dance Weekend. Many more hotels and a large number of restaurants close to the venue are in walking distance.
Parking: Theaterplatz close to Redoutensaal offers only a limited number of parking spots (you can use the Mobilet app). More and long-term parking is available at reasonable prices at "Grossparkplatz" close to main train station, about 10 walking minutes from venue. Prices and payment options: please use links.
Bus service: Linie 30 runs from Nuernberg Airport (NUE) to Erlangen "Arcaden" (town centre) every 20 minutes during the day and takes about 40 minutes, price around 4 Euro
Enjoy a happy weekend in Erlangen's Redoutensaal - a historic ballroom from 1748, equipped with perfect bouncy wooden floor big enough to host all dancers, offering chairs around the hall for everyone. Also equipped with a perfect sound system, stage and air condition. Probably the nicest ballroom for set dancers anywhere.
It will be a Sparkling Party as always, so looking forward to see you there!
