Seascape Workshop. 8th and 9th of October 2016
Location CT5 4BP
The workshop has use of a chalet providing a base for refreshments, for group plenary sessions to share learning and achievements, and a haven in the event of poor weather. The chalet has a wood-burning stove, radiators, hot water, toilet, bathroom, kitchen, large balcony, and views from several windows. We will also have additional covered marquee area in which to work.
Lunch and supper can be provided and brought to you at the chalet – menus will be emailed to you in advance if you have selected this option.
Refreshments and Meals
Hot and cold drinks and biscuits are provided. If you would like your lunch and supper brought to you at the chalet, we can send you menus in advance and arrange this for you. Alternatively there is space inside the chalet to eat or make your lunch, and a cafe close by: Poppet’s Cafe, (400 Faversham Road Seasalter CT5 4BW) and also the Michelin starred pub: The Sportsman
Accessibility
The terrain is pebbly and uneven, and the chalet, although one-storey, does have steps up from the beach so those with limited mobility would require extra help: please contact to discuss.

Finding the Chalet: CT5 4BP
Park alongside the verge as near as possible to the Sportsman Pub in Seasalter (not in their car-park) – there is usually plenty of parking along the road. Make your way to the beach over the sea wall and find the end chalet – easily identified by the marquee outside! I will provide a mobile contact number before the workshops for anyone in difficulties.
