Up until 2020 when all our courses had to be cancelled due to the pandemic we ran painting courses and Choral singing. Here is the 2020 line up - all of which sadly had to be cancelled. Most of the courses were regular annual events. We do hope to be able to resume courses once all the risks of Covid are behind us. We are proud to have worked in partnership with some great institutions and outstanding tutors and hope to remain in contact for the future.
