Which workshop for whom?

Before you give it
Got a question? We're here to answer! If you don't see your question here, contact with us directly on our Contact Page →
Does the gift card cost more than booking?
No. It costs exactly what the workshop costs for the same number of people, and there is no service fee.
What if the price changes before they book?
Nothing. The card covers the workshop for the people you paid for, whatever it costs on the day they book.
How long is it valid?
Twelve months from purchase. The expiry date is printed on the card.
Can it be refunded?
An unused gift card can be refunded within 14 days of purchase, in line with the Distance Sales Agreement. Write to us with the card code.
Can they change the workshop?
Write to us and we will move it to another workshop; if the new one costs more, only the difference is paid.
Gift cards for a whole team?
For employee gifts, client thank-yous and year-end packages, we prepare cards in bulk with a single invoice.
