Many guests come alone and quickly make new friends.
Group Size
To ensure quality instruction, we try to limit groups to 10 - 12 guests,You are participating and paying for a painting workshop taught by Hugh O’Neill and all other activities not related to art en plein air -outside of workshop said times may not be available or on offer at any given time.The transport is chosen to suit the smaller roads and on occasions there are 2 pick up times at hotel and two drop offs after workshop has concluded each day to ensure comfort.On occasion we may hire another private car to help transportation given weather of other unforeseen or for any reasons Director seems appropriate.In that car you or some other participants will or may not travel in that vehicle if required and helps the trips comfort value
The transport is chosen to suit the smaller roads and on occasions there may be 2 pick up times at hotel and two drop offs after workshop has concluded each day.This means not all participants will travel together all of the time or on any given journey .Bus size chosen to go on lesser traveled roads to be able to experience the landscape Hugh O’Neill actually paints himself
To ensure maximum comfort and positive artistic experiences we may decide to divide workshop group into an additional smaller vehicle that goes with us, so to access some very important beauty spots as bigger vehicles cannot reach.Or we may do two separate pickups and returns to hotel.The workshop is not a touristy style tour of Ireland! It is a relaxing artistic journey with the priorities to bring participants to the colorful visuals of the Northern Irish regional landscape in County Down.
