Workshops usually begin with coffee, about 10 am, and the music starts half an hour later.  There is a 1-hour lunch break, when tea and coffee are usually available (most people take a packed lunch) and a tea break in the afternoon.  The event usually finishes about 5 pm.  The cost is generally in the region of £15; there are reductions for members of early music forums and students.

Our Summer School is held in the beautiful setting of The University of Cumbria in the heart of the English Lake District. We welcome most warmly new participants from anywhere in the world.
