South Coast - Spring Workshop II (5th - 8th May 2026)

from £250.00

Date: Tuesday 5th - Friday 8th May 2026
Tutor: Jack Lodge
Price: £1295 (Inc VAT) per person
Places: 3

Workshop Description:

Spring on the South Coast is a true wonder to behold. Join me for this very exclusive 4-day, 3-night photography workshop (not tour) as I help you photograph some of the most remote spots in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, exploring everything from ancient forests filled with bluebells and garlic, to iconic local landmarks.

If conditions allow, we will also be out in the evening for astrophotography, with plenty of time throughout the day for downtime/sleep and processing tuition. Every attendee will also take home 3 x A3 prints captured during the workshop (for workshops away from Dorset, these will be shipped to you separately).

Please remember, this is a dedicated photography workshop and not tour/holiday - days will be long and tiring, but full of adventure, fun and hands-on teaching as we chase the best photographic conditions each day.

Workshop Base:

Our base for the duration of the workshop will be the beautiful Grade II listed Snow’s Barn at All Hallows Farmhouse* in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset.

Please note that accommodation costs are not included in the workshop booking, and must be booked directly with Lisa from All Hallows Farmhouse via this link at the same time.

Estimated cost for accommodation (not included within workshop booking) is £450 for 3 nights* B&B in our own private barn conversion beside the River Allen, with a dedicated area for processing and tuition. Please feel free to book extra days either side of the workshop to extend your stay.
