Courses are held in an idyllic watermill surrounded by beautiful gardens in Kirkby Green, a rural hamlet 12 miles south of historic Lincoln.  This is a very informal setting where you can meet the two beloved black Labradors (Margo and Jemma) along with a resident goose, ducks and the occasional kingfisher!

Venue: Watermill Cottages, Kirkby Green, Lincoln LN4 3PF

The Amadeus Centre has been chosen as the London venue. This tasteful former 19th Century Welsh Chapel is located in Little Venice, a short 5 minute walk from Warwick Avenue underground (Bakerloo). Occasionally on the upper level will be a practising orchestra- a real treat to the ears!
