The British School of Millinery courses normally take place at our Cheltenham studio in groups of up to six learners. This allows our tutors to work closely with each learner to help you get the most out of your day. All courses last one day (from 10am to 3pm) unless otherwise stated.
Our tutors are available to lead courses at other venues upon request.
The British School of Millinery was originally set up in 1990 and has taught millinery skills to hundreds of individuals. View work completed by former students.
