We are delighted that Sean Jones (Sean Jones Photography) will be leading these two incredible wildlife photography workshops as part of Yorkshire Puffin Festival 2026! Sean will share his expertise in how to get the best wildlife shots and how to get optimal use from your camera, by talking you through composition, light and technique, as you take in the stunning setting of Flamborough Cliffs.

This workshop will be suitable for children aged 13+. All children must be supervised by an adult.

What to expect

Yorkshire provides one of the few places to see puffins in the UK on the mainland and the only place on mainland England. The cliffs are also home to amazing sea birds, nesting on the cliffs, and on the mainland, skylarks can be seen and heard high in the sky.

These photography workshops are part of Yorkshire Puffin Festival, an annual festival organised by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. The festival will be open to the public from 10am - 4pm on the 6th and 7th June 2026 at Flamborough North Landing. There will be an array of activities from guided walks,boat trips and drop in activities at Puffin HQ all celebrating the incredible coastal wildife and, of course, our adorable Puffins!
