Lifelong Learning Events

Are you thinking about taking a Lifelong Learning Course with us but keen to find out a bit more?

We have some upcoming events across Lifelong Learning - come along and meet our dedicated team.

You'll have the chance to ask any questions about your preferred subject or language and, at some sessions, participate in taster sessions.

Thinking about learning something new this January? Come along to our Lifelong Learning Open Evening!

Whether you’re interested in exploring your creativity, discovering a new subject or developing your knowledge and skills, we’d love to welcome you.

Meet our friendly teachers from across all our subject areas – Art and Design, Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM and Languages – find out more about the courses on offer and have a chat about what interests you. It's a great opportunity to ask questions, get a feel for our courses and find the right learning experience for you.

There's still time to book a course that starts later in the month, so why not come along and meet the team.

Everyone is welcome – we look forward to seeing you!
