So where is this Swindon place, I thought it was fictional?

Against all probability Swindon is actually a real place (although it does lack the 7 Wonders). It is easily accessible by road (just off the M4) or rail and has been successfully located by guests from as far away as Australia!

The Ffiesta is held at the delightful four star hotel and leisure complex:

The De Vere Shaw Ridge, Swindon

Chosen by popular demand due to its proximity to alternative entertainments, such as ten-pin bowling, ice-skating and a 7-screen multiplex cinema, all of which are within a few moments' walking distance of the hotel.

The hotel features a heated pool and spa, with separate children's area, poolside showers, sauna, and a steam room. There is also a fully equipped gymnasium, a health and beauty suite with three treatment rooms, a relaxation area and two sun beds, and a dance studio with classes in yoga, pilates and various other aerobic based activities, all at no extra cost. For family use there are 8 hotel rooms that can take 2 extra beds and 4 rooms that can take one extra bed. These are available on request and carry a supplement of 30 GBP per room per night. Rooms include a variety of facilities, including Sky TV. All rooms are non-smoking. Disabled rooms have lower surfaces, grab rails in the bathroom and wider doorways.
