To keep things simple, flexible and affordable on an individual basis, meals and accommodation are not included outside of teas, coffees and light snacks during the indoor workshops.

We suggest bringing a packed lunch to the workshops, as the pubs and cafes in Lower Slaughter are liable to be very busy over lunchtime on a lovely Autumn weekend.

Colin and I will be inviting you to join us for morning coffees, evening drinks and lunch and dinner at some pre-arranged venues at your individual expense - but you also have the opportunity to do your own thing and have your own headspace in between the creative times. These venues will be confirmed closer to the time, and are likely to include the pubs and cafes in Lower Slaughter and just down the road in Bourton on the Water.

The Cotswolds has a wealth of accommodation options to suit a range of budgets:

• In Lower Slaughter itself there are a range of mid-to-high tier hotels and holiday cottages - find out more here.

• Bourton on the Water has a host of accommodation options, and is only 1 mile away - find out more here.

• Slightly further away there is Stow-on-the-Wold, and a 30 minute car journey has you in Cheltenham (Toby's home town!) with plenty of accommodation options here too.

• For those on a budget, or who enjoy the outdoors, there are several campsites nearby too that are within a 20-30 minute walk or a much quicker cycle ride.

  NOTE - a small handful of previous sketchers have had a bad experience at 'The Chestnuts B&B' in Bourton. It has good reviews, and this is just an anecdotal experience I'm passing on
