FAQs
Yes there is a lovely café onsite to buy lunch or you can bring a packed lunch.
Yes the course runs on 2 consecutive days. The listing on craft courses shows the first of the two days but the course is a 2 day workshop. We often run a 2 day course and then another 2 day course back to back. The date for the next course sometimes confuses people as this is for the first day of the next course.
