Bluebell Woodlands Photography Workshops

Join an award winning professional photographer and qualified tutor, Alan Ranger, for a bluebell woodland photography workshop in private woods, Warwickshire. 

Alan has run workshops in these woodlands for the last four years and has exclusive access for the four days with the permission and support of the owners.  Therefore the exact location has been kept a secret to help prevent other's trespassing and accessing the woods without permission.  The exact location will be provided to anyone who books but for your travel and possible B&B planning purposes you should plan to be near Henley In Arden, which is near Stratford Upon Avon.

This private location in Warwickshire is regarded as one of the best locations for bluebells

• On the day you will be shown the best spots for taking those stunning photos

• You will have exclusive access to these private woodlands to ensure you can compose shots easily
