How many people are coming over from the States? Where were you all planning to stay any way ? May be you should consider a base in "The Midlands" between L & W as your base for the weekend. Whatever is organised for Sunday could be at that base!! If your interested, I along with many other Britfesters/Digesters live in and around the midlands so we could probably sort out a good cheap hotel for you guys!! I am happy to take this task on if you like!!
