Our Courses at Llanerchindda Farm

We run two courses at Llanerchindda Farm in mid-Wales. These courses (maximum of sixteen players) began way back in 2012, and are still going strong! In fact they are going so strong that we almost always sell out the latest versions of the courses by simply sending emails to previous satisfied customers.

The popularity of the courses is no doubt because of the beautiful venue, the excellent food, the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and the very welcome presence of Helen Hooker as part of the conducting team. With typical humility, Ann and Steve Marshall believe that they probably play their part too! No doubt, however, the shortage of recorder ensemble opportunities in the last year and a half has made our courses even more in-demand.

Whatever the exact reasons for their popularity, the speed of courses selling out has become incredible. We have recently been putting together an ‘easier’ course in early April 2022, and a ‘moderate’ course in mid-June. A few days ago we emailed our ‘regulars’ with news of prices and dates for those courses, and three days later both courses were more or less fully-booked with payment duly received. Probably as you read this every single bed in the place will have been taken..

So, once again, we must apologise if you wanted to come on one of the Llanerchindda courses, but are now frustrated to find that they are fully-booked. We can only say again that people do sometimes have to cancel, and in such cases we have a vacancy. We then look whether anyone has expressed an interest in joining us. So if you think you might be interested, please do drop us an email.
