5th August 2011 We’re all on the field now so nobody is in the office to answer queries by e mail or facebook.
A unique and family-friendly event with inspirational teachers from Africa, South America, Europe and Asia creating vibrant cultural exchange!
Our event is packed with international cultural workshops and activities for beginners, the experienced and more advanced participants. As always, to complement these, there is a full range of other activities including yoga, tai chi, a youth area, childrens area, creche, well being area, open mic cafe sessions and special celebratory evenings (see below) culminating in our famous, firelit Saturday night showcase, where most of the workshops get the chance to show each other what we’ve been doing all week.
You can choose your own pace and level of involvement, but be warned, we take creativity seriously and we want to host the most enjoyable gathering you will have the good fortune to be at this year! So don’t forget to bring your instruments, your party clothes and something white to wear to the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.
We are nestled into the Blackdown Hills, on a beautiful and accessible site with lovely trees and a view to savour. We have hot showers, clean loos, sauna, café and some stalls selling musical instruments and fairly traded items from around the world.
Bring your own tents, camper van or caravan, or hire a yurt or tipi from Hearthworks. Tel: 01749 899 521. Hire a drum in advance from Ghana Goods Tel: 0117 9354132

Teachers & Workshops
At the heart of our Intercultural Summer School experience are the Teachers, sharing their knowledge with all. Each year we present an unsurpassed range of workshops allowing beginners to try something new, regulars to improve upon their skills and the advanced to develop further. We aim for a unique combination of skills, cultures and personalities, check out the range of teachers and workshops at this year’s Summer School.
