How long do courses last for?The length of each course varies and you will find this information by using the links at the bottom of the page to direct you to the current course information. How many people on a course?We have a maximum of 12 people on a course so you can get more attention from the tutor. Do I need to bring a camera and any equipment with me?Our courses are aimed at digital SLR cameras and we recommend that you try and have a play with your camera beforehand so you can come armed with your question for the tutors! You will also need a memory card, fully charged batteries, suitable clothing and footwear. Please bring a lunch if it's an all-day Saturday workshop that you'll be attending or you may wish to purchase lunch in the on-site Pavilion Tearoom. You might also wish to bring a flask if you require a hot drink during the course.

Sorry, but we do not send out booking confirmations due to limited staff resources. Can I cancel or re-arrange the course that I have booked on to once I have enrolled?If you cancel your place within 28 days of the start date of your course, then we regret to announce that we do not offer refunds. Transfers to other courses instead, are subject to the discretion of Gardens' Staff and are normally only offered in extenuating circumstances. For all other refund enquiries, the Gardens' policy is: 28 to 40 days before the course start date: 50% refund offered, over 40 days before course start date: 100% refund offered.
