We have held events at many hotels and sports clubs as well as other types of venues around the world. We understand our clients may prefer a venue close to them. In these instances we will work closely with the organiser to ensure the venue meets our needs. Generally we require a room for the workshop that can easily accommodate the expected number of delegates. Nearby (no more than a couple of minutes walk) we need an outdoor area to build the fire. This area requires a minimum 10 metre radius free from flammable objects (sheds, trees, cars, etc). We also require a water supplied from a tap. Please contact us for more details if you would prefer to use your own venue.

We can hold firewalks for any number. We recommend groups of 12 or more as this allows us to maintain the integrity of both entertainment and safety. We can accommodate larger events for several hundred participants by arrangement. Get in touch to find out more.

This is calculated on individual basis and is based on the specific requirements of your event. This allows you the flexibility to have as many or as few delegates attend as you want. This is only limited by the size of the venue. Please contact us for details.
