Residential Workshops

AUTUMN IN THE LAKES with Stuart McGlennon

4 NIGHTS / 3 DAYS TUITION | 27th TO 31st OCTOBER 2022 - supported by KASE Filters UK

£1095 per person / 4 places in single occupancy en-suite rooms

SOLD OUT

Due to demand I’m putting on a second autumn residential workshop where you can join me to explore the Lake District in all its autumn glory - you can be assured you’re in good hands where you will benefit from the detailed knowledge of a multi award-winning Landscape Photographer who knows the Lake District intimately.

The workshop is limited to 4 participants to ensure you get a generous amount of dedicated tuition time.

Our base will be the gorgeous Sunnyside Guest House, located in Keswick town centre. Accommodation will be provided on a bed and breakfast basis, with all 4 bedrooms single occupancy and en-suite. We will also have use of the large communal room with super-comfortable leather recliners where we can discuss our images and work on post-processing.

All travel will be provided so we can all travel together.

No two days (or even two hours!) are the same in the Lake District so our locations will be kept flexible, meaning you’re best able to take advantage of the changing conditions.
