Skills Spotlight Sessions

Upstairs in the Antony Room there are Skills Spotlight Sessions for you to take part in! Each session costs just £5 per person and includes a free kit for you to use and take away with you.

There are only 8 places per session, so don’t miss out! Book your place in advance using the links below.

There is room for others to watch the session, but they will not be able to take part with a free kit. Kits and materials will also be available to buy from the exhibitor’s stand.

The Antony Room is accessible via a lift or stairs from the ground floor.
