Courses are based at Weston House, a spacious Victorian house in the centre of Bampton, Devon. There are two art studios in the house, converted from the original tailor’s workshop and retail outlet. For full information visit the Weston House website...
Accommodation: Day courses at the studio include buffet lunch served at the house. We aim to use fresh seasonal produce and local ingredients as far as possible, as well as fair trade products.
For our painting holidays we offer accommodation at the house for up to six people, with en-suite or private bathroom, as well as all meals (other than lunches on days out).
If there is a course place available but our residential accommodation is full, you can still book at the non-resident price - including all meals except breakfast.
Alternatively we can provide information on bed and breakfast accommodation within walking distance.
