All bookings are placed with the understanding that Norfolk Photography Tours and Jon Clifton Photography events are educational, relaxed, fun and friendly. For group walks and workshops you will be offered themes at the start to direct you and basic photography guidance (composition and camera modes/ settings) throughout. While photographers of all abilities are welcome, group events are aimed primarily at beginner and improver photographers.
It is the bookers responsibility to ensure their needs are met for each event. While our visits are arranged with landowners and attraction hosts, unless otherwise stated, they do not include 'special access' beyond that what is accessible to the public.
If you're in any doubt about what to expect during an event, please email BEFORE booking: [email protected]
While basic details are given for each event, these details are subject to change depending on risk assessment (weather forecasts, terrain changes)
If changes to advertised events (times/details) are required, notice of change will be given to those who've booked with an option to cancel (walks and workshops only)
