If you wish to cancel, we require four weeks' notice in writing via email or text. Lessons will need to be paid for during the four weeks' notice.  

Unfortunately, we cannot issue refunds for group lessons if you are unable to attend your lesson as our costs still need to be met. 1-2-1 & 2-2-1 lessons, if you are unable to attend a lesson, please let us know in plenty of time. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the lesson will not be carried over and the full amount must be paid for the lesson.
