With a maximum of eight students per class we like to keep our classes to small groups, therefore they do tend to book up quickly so we operate a ‘first come, first served’ policy. Bookings can be made by telephone or by visiting the shop (we are unable to take bookings via the website).

Full payment for classes must be made at the time of booking, so if you phone please have your card details ready.
