Useful information

We have gathered together some useful information below on where to stay, places to eat in Bath, and maps to help you find the summer school venue and make the most of your time in Bath.

Workshop times

We open at 10am on the first morning for registration. We are keen to get everyone settled in as soon as possible but please avoid being early if you possibly can. We don't want to sound unwelcoming but we only have access to the classrooms on the morning of the class and have a lot to set up. (And obviously we want to appear calm and collected by the time we meet you!)

On following days, classes will also start at 10.00am. Finishing times are around 4.00-4.30pm each day at the tutor's discretion.

What to bring to class

You will receive a list of specific equipment when you make your balance payment. Please check that this email has reached you.
