arena seminars

The Arena seminar is an unmissable date in the photographic calendar. This is an inspiration weekend held each spring where enthusiasts and professional rub shoulders and look at and talk photography. We are proud of the reputation of the quality of seminar, and that we continue to attract some of the best practitioners of the art as lecturers. Past guest speakers include John Blakemore, Denis Thorpe, Andy Earl, Mike Busselle, Eddie Ephraums, Martin Parr, John Swannell, Tom Stoddart and David Hurn amongst many others.

This page contains the latest details of the forthcoming seminar. Give yourself a treat - come and attend the next seminar!

"The combination of like-minded people who are so enthusiastic about photography and their willingness to share their expertise, the excellence of the speakers, and the whole atmosphere of excitement and enjoyment of photography, made it a weekend to remember. It will leave me inspired for a very long time and it has certainly given me the boost I needed to seek out a new path to travel with my photography."
