Hi, please note you  will be choosing your workshops on the first morning of the festival, after you have had an opportunity to see your favourite performers and tutors the night before at the opening Gala concert.  The VUF team will then add up the numbers of chosen workshops and allocate rooms based on workshop interest.  Enjoy choosing!
