Learn to surf in Newquay with warm wetsuits, steady foam boards, beach safety coaching, and small-group instruction for beginners.

Make a personal silver ring in a private Canterbury workshop with silversmith Annie, from sawing and soldering to polishing, over three relaxed hours.
“A thoroughly enjoyable and well-planned class in a beautiful, ancient building in the heart of Canterbury. The class was delivered by Annie – an extremely competent and patient teacher. Starting with choosing the design for my ring, Annie explained the use of the tools and then carefully demonstrated each step of the process on ‘her’ ring which I then replicated on ‘my’ ring. This method of teaching ensured that I really felt I had made my own silver ring, to wear home. I was thrilled with the result – and the ring has been much admired.
