Recreational Evening Courses

It’s never too late to learn a new skill or start a new hobby, and we have lots of part-time leisure courses to choose from.

Our recreational part-time and evening courses are flexible, fun and work around you.

Student Stories

It's fun, it's exciting, it's creative. I've now got something out of the course that I will just use in my everyday life. It's easy to fit in, you know, once a week. It's just a nice space to get out of the house. I'm going to go on to do the Introduction to Dressmaking course so carry on with the theme and hopefully this time next year I'll be making my own clothes.

Learn to Sew

It was something that was going to increase my passion and enthusiasm for taking pictures, I'd lost it over the last few years and I decided this was going to be something to rekindle that. It's been a long time since I was in an environment like this but it's worth it. It's worth it to overcome that discomfort, to feel that challenge because at the end of it you look at what you've done and it gives you a sense of satisfaction.

The teacher is fantastic, Yolanda is a native speaker and she has got lots of real world experience that she adds to the class. It just is so much fun every evening that we get together. We've all got busy lives but even that little bit of outside the classroom reinforcement makes a massive difference. Everyone gets catered for and welcomed.

Intermediate Spanish

Firstly, the teacher is absolutely fantastic and she's so welcoming and supportive. I love Italy, and I love travelling there so the idea is that I'll be able to speak with the Italians and carry on studying as well to keep improving. Make your next Italian holiday really wonderful because you'll be able to speak to Italians.
