The bebeady classes are held at interesting venues in Lancashire.

1-day courses

The main venue for the bebeady 1-day classes is in the Pig Barn classroom at Cedar Farm.

I have been looking for other venues to run the bebeady 1-day jewellery making classes around the Preston area and am running a few classes in 2011 at Barton Grange Garden Centre in Brock, north of Preston.

Cedar Farm

Cedar Farm is beautiful, its situated in the countryside location of Mawdesley, Lancashire and is approx. 10 minutes drive from the villages of Eccleston, Croston, Rufford and Parbold.

The venue has good parking and the classroom has tea / coffee making facilites. At lunchtime students can either bring along sandwiches to eat in the room or eat out at the lovely cafe-restaurant or coffee bar. During the lunch break or after the class, there are a number of talented arts/crafts studio galleries to visit and also some bespoke shops. The Pig Barn classroom is lovely, lots of natural light and ample room to give everyone enough space.

Barton Grange Garden Centre

The gorgeous garden centre was newly built in 2008 and features award winning displays, it has a beautiful location and is located to the North of Preston, the M6 and is convenient if you are travelling to the class from Garstang, Lancaster, the Lakes or Blackpool and the Fylde coast.

The venue has good parking and although the classroom doesn't have access to tea/coffee making facilities and students aren't able to bring their own food/drinks along (apart from water). There is a riverside cafe (and restaurant) with cakes and puddings freshly made onsite at the bakery and also from Lathoms of Broughton. During the lunch break or after the class, take a stroll around the garden centre or do a bit of shopping.
