How to book a space on an Exhibition Talk or Taster
The Exhibition Talks, demos and drop-ins are free of charge, however spaces are limited and it would be helpful if you could book using the links below so that we have an idea of numbers. Select your choice of Talk or Taster below and the link will take you to the booking page. If it's already sold out, you can add your name to the waiting list.
There is a nominal fee of £5 towards the cost of materials payable for the Exhibition Tasters, and spaces are limited. The £5 is also fully redeemable against the purchase of a workshop space (collect your exhibition voucher at the end of your Exhibition Taster). We recommend booking in advance to secure a spot. Any remaining spaces will be made available to book on the day.
Your booking includes free entry to the exhibition from 11am - 5pm, so you'll have plenty time to explore!

In this gentle introduction you will learn writing the alphabet in the 'Foundational hand', including how to use and hold the calligraphy pens to start you on your journey into the wonderful world of calligraphy!
Welcome to my class! My name is Liz and I teach a gentle and mindful yoga class, open to all. My aim is to help you unwind in the evening and reconnect with your body and inner alignment. The class will be varied and include some slower paced flows (options always available to suit your practice/body), some meditative aspects, and some longer held yin and restorative poses. This is a practice meant for you, so I welcome any feedback/suggestions at the end of my classes with the aim of tailoring my teaching for the greatest benefit of the community.
A bit about me: I have been participating in mindful movement for my entire life including experience in classical ballet, partner dance styles, and yoga. My teacher training was completed under a Zen Monk (Daizan Skinner) so I am greatly influenced by these traditions in my teaching. I feel a huge sense of excitement to be sharing this practice so that more people can experience the joy of connecting deeply with themselves, and with life. Outside of yoga, I love nature, music, and crafty activities!
I use a tiered pricing system ranging from 5-9 pounds a class Please use whichever option is most appropriate for your unique situation. If you are new to my class, please feel free to take advantage of the newcomers option which is free.
