New Synapse workshops are offered Monday – Friday from April to December only. Weekend training can be arranged, but by exception.

A typical day’s workshop runs from 09:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Lunch (light, seasonal) is included: 12:30 – 13:30. Afternoon sessions generally run through to about 17:00.

Bookings are prioritised on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis. The sequence is easy:

• First identify your preferred training dates.
• Phone or e-mail Patrick at New Synapse to discuss your preferred date window and any additional specific requirements, or concerns, you may have.
• If the training diary is clear, your selected dates will be held open in your name for the next 48 hours, without any payment, so that you can firm up your own accommodation arrangements if appropriate.
• If needed, accommodation is generally selected from the list of recommended hotels and guest houses within a 6-mile radius of the centre included on this page.
• At times up to three double bedrooms may be available in the main house, with shared bathroom facilities. Availability and price on request.
• Within 48 hours of first reserving your preferred training dates, a non-refundable 10% deposit must be made to New Synapse to hold your window open. Payment details will be sent to you, via SMS or e-mail, on request.
• The outstanding balance (90%) must be settled at least 3 full working days before your intended start date.
