    Our cut off point for accepting participants into the workshop is 10 minutes after the scheduled start time, If you are later than this time our teachers may refuse you access as it disrupts the workshop for the other students, so please plan out your route to us to allow plenty of time incase of any delays.

    Please note that all classes require a minimum number of attendees. If too few bookings are received, classes may be rescheduled.

  • Is the venue accessible

    Unfortunately, no. As both of our studios are located in very old and beautiful period buildings, we have lots of stairs and are therefore not accessible for people with impaired mobility.

  • *My child is under the age of 16, can they attend the workshop?

    Anyone aged between 10 and 16 years of age, can take part provided they are accompanied by a participating adult over 18 years. Both the child and adult must be booked in prior to the start of the workshop, if an under 16 is booked in without an adult they will not be allowed attend unless we have space to book in a guardian on that workshop and if we are fully booked this may not be the case. Anyone under the age of 10 years old is not allowed access to the workshops due to health and safety precautions.

  • Can I bring someone else (who hasn’t booked) along to the workshop to watch?

    Unfortunately, this is not something we can accommodate. Valid ticket holders only will be permitted to the studio. When our workshops are fully booked we only have enough space for the participants that have pre-booked the workshop time slot.
