Expansion Sessions 2025

Saffron is delighted to announce the return of its Expansion Sessions for 2025. Running from August to September 2025, these in-person music tech workshops are an opportunity for women, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people to come together and broaden their creative skillsets, building on the foundations covered in our beginner courses. Whether you’re a Saffron graduate or simply looking to try something new, come along to learn, experiment and connect with the community.

All sessions will take place in central Bristol. If you would like to attend a workshop but cannot afford a ticket, please email us at: hello@saffronmusic.co.uk
