Our guest trainers are also offering a number of pre-fest workshops, taking place in the days leading up to the Spoon Hoolie. These workshops are either for one or two days, and provide the opportunity to spend time learning a skill in more detail. We have:
We’re committed to pay people for the time that’s needed to organise, set-up, and run the events. That means we don’t rely on volunteers for any part of the events, and we aim to pay everyone fairly for their contributions. We also need the events to contribute towards our running costs as a social enterprise, so we can continue to deliver our social aims.
Cancellation policy:
We do have to cancel events from time to time, usually for safety reasons in bad weather or when there is a weather warning. If we do have to cancel, we'll give as much notice as possible. We'll also refund the value of the booking, seek a suitable placement on a similar event or rearrange the date of the event. If you have to cancel, please tell us as far in advance as possible. If you let us know at least 28 days in advance, we'll refund your booking.
