Thu 8th June

Workshop Day

Priority booking and fees includes

A fun filled day of hands-on immersive experiences held at BCU.

Workshop hosts include Anthony Burrill, Astrid Stavro, Brian Collins and Gemma O’Brien – plus many more! Workshops will run throughout the day, you will be able to attend at least two workshops (priced individually at £40).

Because of limited availability of some workshops (Anthony’s only has 10 places per session), booking is on a first come first served basis. Conference Pass holders will have exclusive access to book a week before anyone else – so it’s your best chance to secure your space on the workshop you desire.

Other workshops such as Brian & Astrid’s will have a large capacity and we can guarantee a place for all pass holders if booked during early access.

(Early access has now ended as workshops are on general sale)
