There is no need to be able to read music, or to have sung these songs before. All songs will be taught by ear, by our hugely experienced, charismatic and patient workshop leaders.
Lunch and evening meals provided, and on Saturday evening we will share a feast together, at which guests can present and enjoy songs, performances, stories or poems from any tradition of their choosing.
Camping is available on site, and other accommodation options available nearby.
