Know Before You Go

This is a ‘Know Before You Go’ workshop. Here you have the opportunity to pre-book a selection of activities that are otherwise ‘sign-up on the day’ or ‘drop-in’.

We have also included additional information such as an explanation of what to expect, steps to the workshop activity and a description of the environment.

This new approach is designed to help you feel informed, supported and welcome before you start the experience, and allow you to book to guarantee a space.

 

Please only book if a ‘Know Before You Go’ workshop would benefit you. This workshop is also available to sign up on the day from 12:00 pm onwards.
