This is our second residential in St Ives, staying at Cohort. I can't recommend it enough; the students had such a great time exploring St Ives, the workshops were well planned and interesting, the staff at Cohort are amazing and this year we booked surf lessons which the students really enjoyed.

Every art department should book a visit.
