We offer a number of different membership and payment options for our members which we use to cover the running costs of the club, subsidise guest speaker evenings and practical workshops.
As of March 2026 we will be using a new pricing structure that includes all monthly club sessions as well as any extra costs ascociated with visiting guest speakers.
The costs outlined below cover membership and all standard monthly club night sessions.
As of April 2026 membership costs are as follows...
A single 12 month membership to join or renew membership is charged at £40, members of the same famiy can join for a discount of £10 per member, students over 18 receive a 10% discount with valid student ID and under 18's can join for free our online membership remains at £15.
Monthly club nights are chargeable at £5 per month on a PAYG basis, however when paying upfront for the year we offer 2 months free during months 1-6 of the year and 1 month free during months 7-12. When paying upfront you will also get the benefit of knowing that this includes the extra costs for all guest speaker evenings.
Full year Single PAYG membership: £120
Full year Single Upfront membership: £90
Special guest speakers, group workshops and tree critique nights incur a small additional cost which are subsidised by the club. These costs are dependant on the visiting artists costs but to give an idea, guest speaker nights have an additional £5 cost for PAYG members and group workshops have previously been charged at £50 per person, these are limited to 5-6 participants in order to make sessions affordable whilst maintaining 1-1 time.
