Event Date: Sunday 7th September 2025 - 11am to 4.30pm
Unlock the secrets of vintage lighting & craft your own bold, vintage-inspired masterpieces with a modern twist. Lighting on Location; a no-fluff, hands-on workshop in an exclusive location, led by photography and lighting royalty.
Whether you’re just picking up a camera or you’ve been at it for years, join us for an incredible hands-on workshop led by Gavin Hoey. This isn’t just any workshop, it’s guided tuition with Gavin himself, meaning you’ll get personalised, expert instruction every step of the way.
So, roll up your sleeves, smooth out those victory rolls, and grab your best tea dress – we’re taking a jaunt back to 1940s Britain, where fashion is on the ration, and gingham rules the runway!
