How to book...
1. Fill in our booking form and post it to us along with your deposit
The information below is also contained in the PDF file with the booking form.
2. Send us an email with the basic details of your booking with course title in header (Nr. of places booked, your name and contact details, how you have paid, amount and your reference)
This helps us to track bookings efficiently, and ensures that any delays with the post do not affect you. Also, places are limited for everyone’s enjoyment and are sometimes booked up quite quickly, so an email helps you to secure a place on the course. We can hold the date(s) for a couple of days only once you decide to join us.
A deposit is payable immediately and the balance due date will be advised, although you are welcome to send the full amount for the whole balance for convenience if you wish. Full balance due if booking less than 10 weeks before the course. Please send deposit/balance payment with booking form completed to NEW registered address (above) to ensure availability on your preferred dates. For residential retreats, you can add any required extra nights’ accommodation (this has to be booked in advance by us) or single supplement (please see course booking box on relevant page for cost) to your payment.
