Book with Confidence

Planning and booking your painting course is all part of the experience, so we want to make it is as easy as possible. We have been running painting holidays for 24 years & are confident that you will have a great painting workshop with a trustworthy supplier. We want it to be an enjoyable experience – from beginning to end, from ‘bonjour’ to ‘see you again soon’ 🙂

FLEXIBLE PLANNING IN REGARD TO COVID

However, sometimes even the best laid plans can change. Ongoing changes and updates due to Covid may mean that your plans may change. So, to reassure our students, we have adjusted our cancellation policies to cover Covid related changes. These are to your advantage (reschedule or full refund less any unrecoverable bank charges within 18 months). This means you can book with confidence. There’s always a solution.


Terms & Conditions for Adam Cope Painting Courses

1.IF WE CANCEL YOUR BOOKING. A course needs a minimum number of four students. In the unlikely case of this is not being attained, within 60 days before course start date, then we will either offer you alternate dates or if this is not accepted, promptly refund you with no further liability on our behalf (‘Adam Cope’). Under no circumstances shall our liability exceed the amount paid to ‘Adam Cope’ for the course fees.
2. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR BOOKING

Reimbursements do not apply less than one month before course start date.
Your personal holiday insurance should cover you for cancellation.

If you are staying at one of the venues ‘ADAM COPE’ teaches at, you will need to visit their own site to check prices and their individual terms and conditions.

You pay direct to each business separately. Each business is responsible directly to you for their services:

  • ADAM COPE (siret 419 626 627 00030). Responsible for teaching & painting furniture.

Please note that we will not refund your flights, cancellation fees, or any related costs due to any cancellations.
