I would welcome to have at least one weekend between both events, two weekends even better. But in the end, IMHO, date is a very important part of the negotiation when choosing the place, some hotel/hostels/etc will make you a better price in the weekends they expect to have less people, so I would suggest you to get quotes for several weekends and see if it makes a big difference. Thank you for organising! Ana
