Courses

All courses take place in the main house or studio, a converted stable which is reached via an internal courtyard. All teaching spaces are on the ground floor and have level access.

All courses start with dinner at 6.30pm on the first day and end after lunch on the last day unless otherwise noted in the course programme.

Some courses run every year and there is often great demand for places. If you wish your name to be added to our ‘register an interest’ list for a particular course you can do this up to 12 months in advance.

Just call and speak to a member of the office team.
