We are delighted to offer popular non-examined leisure courses for adults in Philosophy and Mythology, and are thrilled to announce the introduction of Anglo-Saxon History starting this September.

Our Philosophy courses invite you to explore life's fundamental questions and delve into the minds of the world’s greatest thinkers. They are for curious, open-minded learners wanting to explore the world's oldest, and newest, questions. We offer Philosophy continuation courses for learners who have studied our Introduction to Philosophy/term 1 course, however, anyone is welcome to join these classes. Please do get in touch if you would like to speak to the tutor regarding joining an appropriate class.  

Our ‘Legends & Lore’ mythology course is offered once a year and takes learners on a journey through the world's most captivating myths and legends. Participants will read, discuss, compare and analyse various myths, examining how these ancient stories have shaped societies throughout history.
