Our 2025 COURSES:
A lot of our 2025 course dates have sold out, BUT all is not lost – there are still spaces left, and we do get cancellations. So grab one of the last spaces or if the course you wanted to attend is fully booked, ask Lois to put you on the waiting list. You could still be in luck!
Travelling from afar? We, can recommend lots of lovely places to stay locally overnight.
Here’s our cancellation policy should you need it.
