 | | | Courses We are pleased to offer a varied selection of courses within our light and spacious training area at Turners Retreat. We use experienced craftsmen to tutor our courses and restrict course numbers to ensure that we provide a high degree of "one to one" tuition. In most cases, the maximum number of students on a course would be three, and in many cases just two!
Our facilities include all personal safety protection and the workshop is equipped with a powerful high efficiency dust extraction system.
Refreshments and lunch are included, as are all the materials used during the courses. In most cases, discounts are available to course students for related products purchased after the course.
Our courses are quite popular, so it's worth a call to check on current availability. A £20.00 deposit secures a place on a course.
We are always looking at ways to improve and increase the variety of courses that we can offer, so don't presume a course not currently listed isn't available - it's always worth a call to check.
If interested in participating in any courses, please register your name and address either by letter, phone 01302 744344 or email eShop@turners-retreat.co.uk.
