About our masterclasses

Sharing knowledge and meeting likeminded people is at the heart of Beyond Darklands. Our masterclasses are led by professionals and those with experience. Each masterclass is developed with the audience in mind to provide attendees with awareness, insights, knowledge, and skills that can be taken forward.

Sessions typically last for 50 minutes and are presented in English. Ticket availability is limited, so tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis.

Ticket costs consist of a standard € 12 production cost which covers our fixed costs in providing classes. Presenters may also opt to charge an additional fee to cover their expenses that they incur in providing each class.

It is expected that we will follow up on the success of 2025 and offer some online masterclasses in early 2026. We also expect to repeat our successful ‘Darklands for Beginners” classes both online and in person. These masterclasses are specifically aimed at those who have not attended Darklands before and wish to find out more before they arrive and meet like-minded people.

We have a dedicated team of education and presentation specialists from the community to support our ever growing masterclass programme and presenters.

Every year we bring people together in the community to support each other and share their knowledge with a diverse range of topics and skills. We are very proud that having grown our masterclasses from 16 classes in 2022 to 54 classes in 2025, Darklands has become integral to knowledge sharing in the community and meeting like-minded people.

We anticipate that we will repeat the success of 2025 and offer complimentary tickets for certain classes that focus on the wellbeing, community and mental health aspects of the community. Further information will be available soon.
