More questions, are the track booking and road closure still going ahead? If so and both on Saturday then 2 nights (Friday & Saturday) will be enough (home late Sunday and bright eyed for work), but if one is on Sunday a third night would probably be needed...well you did ask for any questions

[Griff Bitch]

Still waiting for final details to be sorted out, but am planning on the trackday on the Saturday and the road closure on Sunday morning. If this is the case then you should be OK to get the 3pm ferry on the Sunday, or stay the extra night up to you.

What if someone wants to come from Ireland, Belfast or Dublin? Do these prices still apply?

Office is shut now, but I have had a quick look online, and it looks like they only sail from Belfast on the 27th March at 7.15pm arriving at 10.10pm, and going back on Sunday at 7am arriving at 9.55am, not ideal times. I would imagine the prices would be very similar, but will check in the morning.

£189, with the above sailing times.

It is between £166 & £178, (They heavily subsidise the sailing if you book a hotel.) depending where you want to go from. Phone Steampacket and speak to Laura, she may give you a discount.
