We run regular courses at Hurst Green and the current series is taking place during the spring. Three linked days are taking place on four Saturdays from March to May at 10.00a.m. to 4.00p.m; they cost £50 for each day and include lunch.
If you are interested in combining attendance at one or more of the courses with overnight stays, reduced rates for bed and breakfast will be available for those that run during the low season.
