At Guitar Breaks we make every effort to ensure our workshops are accessible to all. However some venues are less accessible than others.
• You are required to take out personal travel insurance for the duration of your workshop. We will expect you to be able to supply proof of this. If possible please ensure that your travel insurance is arranged at the time of booking your workshop. This should include cancellation insurance for reasons including, but not exclusive to, redundancy, jury service or infectious disease. Guitar Breaks does not accept responsibility for any cancellation or effect on your workshop due to medical reasons, natural disasters, war, terrorism, industrial disputes, civil strife, adverse weather conditions or acts of God.

• Guitar Breaks cannot be held responsible should a special guest need to cancel their attendance at a Guitar Breaks event after guest bookings have been made. We work extremely hard to ensure that our special guests are able to be with us for the duration of an event. However it is out of our hands if a situation such as a high profile professional engagement takes precedent, serious illness arises, family matters arise or travel arrangements become unrealistic, whereby a special guest has to cancel their attendance at an event, or cut their attendance short.
• Guitar Breaks reserves the right to change, revise or update the itinerary without prior notice. Rest assured that any changes will be made to ensure the smooth running of the holiday and will not impact negatively on the holiday experience.
