Our occasional series of One Day Courses offer an opportunity to try something new or to polish skills, in a supportive and friendly environment.

One Day Courses usually start at 10am with welcome tea and coffee, and a chance to meet your Course Leader and fellow participants. The sessions take place from 10.30am to 4pm, with a break for a delicious home cooked lunch, included in the course fee.

Make sure to add yourself to the One Day Courses mailing list to be first to hear when new courses are announced!
