After a break in 2018, the Diploma Gathering is back! This time we'll be meeting at the Birchcliffe Centre in beautiful Hebden Bridge, a hotbed of community action and urban food growing. 

The weekend will be jam-packed with Diploma-related workshops and there will opportunities to have tutorials, share your work and meet apprentices and tutors from all over Britain and further afield.

The £70 ticket price includes lunch and refreshments on both days and a curry buffet on the Saturday night. 

Please note that accommodation isn't provided this time but there are lots of options to suit all budgets in Hebden Bridge (in fact Hebden Bridge Hostel is right next door to the venue and prices start at £15 a night). Other accommodation links:
