  • Where’s the venue?

    Once a venue is confirmed the event page will be updated with a Google Map of the location.

    We always aim for venues close to major transport hubs – for example, in Manchester we try to make sure venues are a 15-minute walk from Piccadilly or Victoria train station.

  • Are there still spaces?

    Should a date sell out, the page will be updated with a red sold out banner. The booking form will also be removed from the page. If it’s still on the page, the event is still available for booking.

    Events and training are also updated when they are nearly sold out, so you know when they’re reaching their capacity.

    If you want to attend a sold out date, email [email protected] /[email protected] respectively and we’ll add to a waiting list should there be any cancellations.

    There are a few options.

    • You can cancel your place

    If you are unable to attend an event or public training course, please let us know in writing (email is fine) at least 48 hours before. Please email [email protected]
