Workshops

We have a wide range of different workshops being offered to target all attendees and their interest that are both paid and free.  You are welcome to watch and learn without having to pay anything, subject to if there's enough space to watch.  For those who would like to participate in paid workshops, for majority of the paid workshops, tickets are available on Eventbrite for sale.  Some workshops are paid by cash at the door or separately through the workshop host.  Please read the descriptions below for more information.  If you have any questions, please send them to [email protected].

For all paid workshops that are purchased through Eventbrite, upon purchasing any tickets to the workshops, you are agreeing to all of the policies, terms and conditions listed below:
  • A weekend pass or a day pass (both are sold separately) is required to be admitted to the workshop and we will not be providing any refunds for the workshop tickets if a weekend pass or a day pass cannot be produced or presented during the workshop check-in process.
  • All workshop tickets are non-refundable after Wednesday May 22, 2024 at 11:59pm and no exceptions will be made.
  • Workshop ticket holders are allowed a 15 minute grace period to arrive at the workshop to accommodate those who are late.  After such time, we reserve the rights to sell your tickets to any standby attendees.  Your ticket will not be refunded if it was sold to someone else after the 15 minute mark after the start of the scheduled workshop.
  • Any missed workshops where there are materials or kits as part of the ticket, we will not be accommodating any pick up of the materials or kits at a later time after the workshop.  This also goes for before the workshop should they know they will be missing it.
  • Should there be any disagreements between both the attendee/ticket holder and Anime North, the decision made by Anime North will be final.
Workshop tickets that are purchased directly from the workshop host prior to the event will be subject to the terms and conditions as set out by the host.
