Hot and cold drinks are provided, please bring your own packed lunch and snacks. Accommodation is not included, however there are many lovely places to stay locally around Denbigh.

Group sizes are deliberately kept small (2 to 4 people per course) so that each person gets the most out of their time with us. Open communication and questions are welcomed at all stages and time can be taken to focus on any areas that need strengthening without detracting from the course schedule.
