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)
