2026 Workshops

Following on from the success of the 2025 workshops the intention is run 4 workshops for 2026, 2 during the week and 2 during weekends! Preliminary dates for these workshops are below – confirmation is to come however! 

These events will be for HDSA members only and booking is not yet open but save the dates.  Please note we will be running these workshops at cost, based on the numbers for attendance, as the dates are confirmed please book in as soon as possible if you would like to go so we can make sure the Workshops are viable (and I know how much cake to make) 

🙂
Payment can be made in cash at Demo or DYOT or dropped off at 153 Ashby Road, Hinckley, LE10 1SH (my house) or via our HDSA Bank Account – but please let email me first or let me know in person – so I can make sure we have places available before you make payment. Places are offered on a first come, first served basis.
