Standard: The true cost of taking part.
Supported Places: for anyone who would find the standard fee a barrier. We don't ask for proof or explanations – we simply ask that you choose the fee that's right for your circumstances.
Pay it Forward Places: If you're able to pay a little more, your additional £50 helps support someone else access our creative programmes.
Sponsored Places: We believe everyone should have the opportunity to take part. Sponsored places are available at 50% and 75% of the standard cost across all our workshops, helping to ensure that everyone has the chance to get creative, build confidence, and be part of something special.
