Costs of Drumming Is Fun workshops
How much is it?
Costs depend on what you want (how many people, how long we're there for, how far away, etc.?). This page links to typical costs of various activities, to give you an idea what you can afford, and enable you to write your own quote. You may also need to add travel costs, and deduct discounts, but VAT is already included as we aren't VAT-registered.
Typical workshop costs: (may vary for your project)
- Primary/Lower schools
- Secondary/Middle/Upper schools
- Cosmic Sound Journeys
- Guides/Brownies/Beavers/Cubs/Scouts/Youth groups
- Community/multicultural events/village fetes
- Corporate Team Building
- Christmas / birthday parties
- Weekly classes for adults/teens
- Private tuition
Travel costs
I live near Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire and can travel to West Herts, Beds and Bucks (or further afield for whole day projects in Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, East Herts and West Essex). You can work out the mileage to and from Leighton Buzzard to multiply by the HMRC standard 45p/mile travel cost (both ways), to add to your workshop cost. I usually waive travel costs for local weekly projects within a 10 mile radius. Projects further than an hour's journey away also incur driving time at £10/hour/facilitator. Please don't expect us to travel for longer than the workshop duration unless the fee covers that.
Discounts
We offer discounts wherever possible to charity projects, on a case-by-case basis. If your funding is limited, here are some more cost-saving options:
- You have tried applying for funding, right? There is money out there waiting for your project to spend...
- I can be especially flexible if you can help me out a bit. For instance, if you can spread the word about my teaching to other interested parties (and actually get me bookings, not just more charitable work...), then you'll get good deals.
- Obtain (parental) permission for photos and/or videos of your workshop participants to be used on this website, and receive discounts. These days it's so hard to get good pictures of us doing what we do best!
- Our Carousel Days have lower prices than our standard rates to encourage you to book an entire day's activities with us and save you the leg-work of organising everything!
- Team up with other classes/schools/organisations who also want workshops in your area to minimise travel costs.
- Join our Short-Notice Bookings list and make us an offer of what you can afford. We'll see what we can do...
