Details:

Is there an age limit for the workshop?
Anyone can attend our workshops, though unfortunately we do not allow children under 12. Those under 16 we do request are accompanied by an adult. Please do get in touch if you'd like to discuss.

What should I bring?
You don't need anything - we'll provide everything you need for this workshop.

What are my transport/parking options getting to you?
We recommend one of the Park and Ride options to spend the day in Bath (Lansdown, Newbridge or Odd Down). Alternatively there is parking in Bath in several locations - the nearest to Walcot Methodist Chapel would be the Podium car park or the Cattlemarket car park. Train services to Bath Spa are very regular and the walk to Walcot Methodist Chapel takes around 25 minutes. What3words: ///cats.cage.monkey
