Leather Axe Sheath Course - 19th March 2025
As a small business, I work hard to keep workshops affordable and accessible, which means last-minute cancellations can have a big impact. To ensure fairness for everyone, please take note of the following:
- Cancellations made more than 21 days before your workshop date – You will receive a full refund, giving me enough time to offer your spot to someone else.
- Cancellations within 21 days of the workshop – Unfortunately, I’m unable to offer refunds or rescheduling at this stage. However, you’re welcome to send someone else in your place.
- Unexpected circumstances? If it looks like you may not be able to attend after the 21-day deadline, I’ll reach out to explore the possibility of finding an alternative date.
- Bookings made with a gift voucher – These are non-refundable and can't be exchanged for cash.
In the rare event that I need to cancel a workshop, I’ll give as much notice as possible and issue a full refund. Please note that I cannot cover any additional costs, such as travel expenses.
By booking, you agree to these terms. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to a workshop soon!
Please note that the Axe Sheath Workshop is strictly for those aged 18 and over due to insurance requirements. **Do not book** if you or the person you are booking for is under 18, as refunds will not be issued in this case.
