Workshop Hosting
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We carefully curate all workshops to ensure they’re a good fit for our space, community, and audience. While we love hearing new ideas, submitting an application doesn’t automatically guarantee acceptance.
-
We offer three hosting options, each providing a different level of support — from studio hire through to full promotion and admin. Details for each tier are outlined on our Hosting Pricing page so you can choose the option that best suits your experience and needs.
-
Promotion is included in our Tier 2 and Tier 3 packages. This helps us keep things fair and consistent for all facilitators.
-
While we promote workshops to our established and engaged community, we’re unable to guarantee attendance or ticket sales.
Workshop success depends on a range of factors including timing, pricing, content, shared promotion, and factors outside of our control.
-
This depends on your chosen hosting tier - If you choose Tier 3 (the full package), we handle this for you.
Some facilitators prefer to manage this themselves as they have their own websites and payment systems.
Handling the ticketing and payments gives you greater control over direct communication with your attendees as you handle all the enquiries and establish connection with them.
-
Our pricing is standardised to ensure fairness and sustainability for everyone involved.
-
We understand that workshop host pricing can raise questions, especially if you’re comparing different venues or platforms.
Our pricing reflects not only the use of our dedicated workshop space, but also the planning, marketing, administration, and customer support that happens behind the scenes.
Once a workshop is confirmed, we invest time in setting up listings, responding to enquiries, coordinating promotion, managing systems, and preparing the space. In many cases, this work begins weeks before the workshop runs. We also turn away any other bookings if a date has been set aside for you.
Our pricing is structured to cover these real costs and to ensure we can continue offering a well-supported, professional workshop program.
To keep things fair and consistent for all facilitators, our pricing is standardised. We’re always happy to help you choose the hosting tier that best suits your needs, but we’re unable to adjust pricing on a case-by-case basis.
-
When a workshop date is confirmed, we commit that time exclusively to your workshop. This means we may turn away other facilitators, begin promotion, create listings, answer participant enquiries, and allocate staff time to planning and preparation.
If a workshop is cancelled close to the scheduled date, it’s often not possible to fill that space with another workshop at short notice. Cancellation fees help cover the costs already incurred, including marketing, administration, and lost booking opportunities.
For this reason, cancellation fees apply based on the amount of notice given. Full details, including timelines and applicable fees, are outlined in our Workshop Cancellation Policy, which we encourage all facilitators to review before confirming dates.
-
For everyone’s safety and comfort, facilitators aren’t able to provide food for participants. This helps us manage food allergies, intolerances, and dietary requirements.
Participants are welcome to bring their own food if needed and we also have a lunch bar directly across the road if your workshop goes over the lunch period.
We do provide tea and coffee for all workshops.
-
Facilitators supply all workshop-specific materials, tools, and consumables, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
-
To keep things clear for participants and consistent with our retail offering, facilitators provide all materials needed for their workshop and don’t sell products during workshops that are also stocked by Craggy Pear Emporium.
If you’re unsure whether something overlaps, we’re happy to discuss it beforehand.
-
Facilitators are responsible for holding appropriate public liability insurance where required. We may ask for proof of insurance prior to confirming your workshop.
-
We recommend applying at least 12 weeks ahead to allow time for scheduling, planning, and promotion.
-
Yes — we offer options for multi-day workshops. Pricing reflects extended use of the space and calendar availability.
-
We review applications on a rolling basis and aim to respond within 7–10 business days.
-
Our full Workshop Facilitator Terms & Conditions and Cancellation Policy are available on our website and must be agreed to before a workshop is confirmed.
