Cancellation by us
Our courses require minimum numbers and, if outdoors, suitable weather conditions in order to run. If minimum numbers are not reached or due to adverse weather we will refund your payment in full, or transfer your booking to a future date, We will notify you of the cancellation not less than three days prior to the course (minimum numbers not reached) or one or two days prior to the course (poor weather). We rarely cancel but we may need to if bad weather means that we can't run an enjoyable course.
