A standard weekend course runs from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, with lunch and dinners included, along with refreshments to keep you topped up, all provided on site at Jackdaws. Bed and Breakfast is available starting from £40 per night for those of you travelling from further afield.
During the breaks in teaching, you can use one of our practise rooms to apply what you have learnt, or reflect on the session with a walk through the garden.
