Feedback from last year’s festival showed that while some participants wanted more time to explore Coll, others asked for additional workshops. In response, this year we’re offering a number of optional extra workshops alongside those included in the festival pass. Click on the individual workshop links to read about each workshop.

Optional workshops cost £10 each, except for those marked as family-friendly, which are free. We’ll contact festival participants by email in February to ask which of the extra workshops you’d like to attend.
