Once final payment is made this is non-refundable unless we can fill your space.
 

It is your responsibility to provide the correct contact information when registering for a course. If we are unable to contact you, we cannot be held responsible for missed or cancelled courses and no refunds or alternative dates will be given.

On booking and paying for a course you will be sent a confirmation email with the information relating to your course.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, you agree to advise us of this, and it will be reissued.

Please note, once your payment has been made it is Non-Refundable, as diary space is being held and other students refused for spaces.

We reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone or eject an attendee from a course should we deem that the attendee presents a risk to the business or is a disruption to or prevents the enjoyment of the rest of the class.

 

• Children

It is a possible to book Children between the ages of 8 -18 on our courses; however, they must be accompanied by an adult at all times unless we have specifically advertised the class as a Children's class. The adult will not participate in the class unless they have paid for a space for themselves, they will purely be there in a supervisory capacity. You must advise us at time of booking of the child’s age and give their supervisors details. Not all classes are suitable for children.

 

• Attendance and Cancellations

All classes require the payment of a non-refundable booking fee, followed by the remaining payment two weeks before your class date, all payments once made are Non -Refundable. Once you have purchased a course or day class with us your space is held and reserved just for you thus preventing anybody else from booking that space. Therefore, in the event of cancellations and no-shows where we will be left with an unfilled course space, no refunds or alternative course dates will be given under any circumstances. It is your responsibility to check that you can attend the course before you book it. In the event you are unable to attend your course, you may send somebody else in your place, we must be advised of this.

Attendees wishing to change a course date must do so by providing at least 1 months’ notice before the original course date booked. All amendments are subject to a £20 administration fee per course date per person. Booking amendments are subject to availability and are not reserved or confirmed until this admin fee is received.

If you wish to amend the date of a course that is a one off or seasonal course, or a course that is no longer running, you may choose another course of the same or lesser value. No refunds will be given for courses of a lesser value, and the difference is payable by you for courses of a greater value.

We are unable to accept responsibility for adverse weather, traffic conditions, public transport, sickness, or any other circumstances, personal or otherwise, which may affect your ability to attend a course in full or in part. Late comers may join the class at the point at which they arrive, however we are unable to repeat content missed or restructure the rest of the class as result of your lateness. If you miss a class owing to any of the above, our usual cancellation policy will apply. Please try to be on time.

If you need to depart from a course early, no refunds will be given in full or in part under any circumstances.

If for unforeseeable reasons we must postpone or cancel a course, you will be offered other available dates for your class. This may be the same course on another date, or another course to the same value, if you wish to change to another course of a higher value, the difference in price will be due. We are unable to accept responsibility for any peripheral costs surrounding course cancellations i.e. travel, hotels or childcare, that you have incurred.

• What do you need to bring?

Tea, Coffee and Soft drinks will be available throughout the day. Many students do not like to stop for a formal lunch break, but personally we feel it is best to and step away from the work bench for a little while so in this case we suggest you bring a packed lunch. You will also need an apron, and you will need a notebook and pen.

A word on Food Allergies, please remember we are both a home and working kitchen, if you have any food or non food allergies you need to advise us before confirming your class as it may be the case that our environment is not suitable for you. Please note there are also animals in our home, not in the kitchen but if you have any severe allergies to them please take this in to consideration before booking.
