Holy Island Photography Workshop
Date 22 June 2024
Time 1pm – 7.30pm
Max. group size 4 participants
Cost £80 per person
Holy Island, or the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to give it its full title, is a small island off the north Northumberland coast. The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway, which is accessible only at low tide.
Holy Island is rich in history, being a seat of Christianity dating back to the 7th century, and this history provides much material for the photographer.
The island can’t be beaten as a location for a day’s photography. This popular small-group photography workshop will visit a number of sites across the island, including the harbour area with its iconic upturned boats, the area around the magnificent Priory and, of course, Lindisfarne Castle – perched on its distinctive rocky outcrop.
The workshop is timed so that the workshop will take place when the causeway is closed. This means that the island should be quieter and there will be more scope for shooting water in around the harbour. The workshop finishes in the evening when – if the weather is good! – there should be wonderful warm evening light illuminating the island.

USEFUL INFORMATION
This workshop is suitable for photographers at any level, beginners and more advanced photographers alike. The small group size ensures that I’ll have plenty of time to devote individually to each participant.
Bring with you the equipment you already own. A tripod will be useful, but don’t worry if you don’t have one: it is not essential and I should be able to lend you one for the day. Some walking over uneven ground may be involved, so a reasonable degree of fitness will be needed, along with sturdy footwear.
