Advanced bookings are required for all workshops, experiences and treatments. We recommend booking with as much notice as possible to avoid disappointment as navailability for your desired date/time will not extend or trigger any refund of any tickets and/or gift cards. We therefore recommend you book with as much notice as possible and no less than 30 days prior to any expiry date.
Some, or all, workshops or experiences may run on pre-determined dates at pre-determined times.
To better manage our calendar and offerings we operate a cancellation policy for all booked experiences, workshops and treatments.
Each workshop, experience and/or treatment may be subject to terms and conditions that are listed on the informational page on this website and/or the booking page and/or printed material. If there is a contradiction or conflict of terms between what is listed on the informational page, booking page or printed material the company will, at it’s sole discretion, make a decision as tow hich specific terms are valid. The below terms may beedited without notice and will be applicable to all past, present and future bookings for workshops, experiences, treatments and/or any other service that we may make available.
For all group workshops/experiences, we require a minimum notice of 30 calendar days to cancel or reschedule. Any cancellation or rescheduling of a booked group workshop/experience where you have given less than 30 days notice will result in the deposit being forefited. Any remaining balance can be carried forward to a future group workshop/experience booking. Group workshops/experiences are treated as a single booking. If a member of your party is no longer able to attend, this cancellation policy will still apply, with that member losing their allocated deposit if the appropriate notice is not given. Group workshops/experiences cannot be rescheduled in parts or divided up and must be rescheduled as one group to a future date.
Tickets to our open workshops are non-refundable and non-exchangable. If you are unable to attend the workshop your ticket is valid for, you can transfer your ticket to another future workshop of equal or greater value by providing at least 15 calendar days notice. Where the new workshop is of greater value, the difference in price from your original ticket price and the new workshop price will be payable in advance no less than 15 calendar days prior to the new date.
We require 7 working days notice, subject to confirmation in writing from us if you would like to cancel a booked/scheduled treatment. Any cancellations of a booked/scheduled treatment with less than 7 working days notice will result in the full charge being levied.
If you would like to reschedule a booked/scheduled treatment, you can do so only once per booking by giving at least 3 days notice. Any rescheduled appointments cannot be cancelled once rescheduled. Any treatments rescheduled with less than 3 days notice will result in the full charge being levied.
In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your booked experience, workshop, ticket or treatment due to unforeseen circumstances including, but not limited to: goverment closure orders and illness, we will aim to give you as much notice as possible and re-book you to an alternative date. Unfortuantely we are unable to offer refunds in these circumstances.
If we are uanble to accept your booking for any reason, such as a workshop being overbooked by ourselves or the minimum number of attendees not being reached, we will offer a refund or the option to reschedule you on to the next available appointment/workshop/experience.
All gift cards for expeiences/treatments/nominal amounts are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and are non refundable and non-transferable.

Our workshops and experiences are structure to include as much we can, so starting on time is vital. It is therefore essential that you arrive promptly for your workshop, at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Where the price of the workshop or experience is greater than the value of the gift card, the remaining balance must be paid by an accepted debit/credit card prior to booking. Where the value of the gift card is greater than the price of the workshop or experience, any remaining balance will remain on the gift card for future use up until the expiry date.
