Evening classes

We run creative evening classes in the autumn and spring terms each academic year. These classes are open to students, University staff and the general public.

The classes are suitable for mixed abilities, from beginners to the more experienced / returning learners and usually run in a ten-week block (depending on the length of the term). Student discounts are available for all our evening classes. 

Places at the classes are limited and are booked online via the University online store. Bookings usually open in late August for the autumn term and early December for the spring term. Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear when bookings open. Once the classes are on general sale, booking links are added to the individual evening class pages in this section of our website.

Please note that our classes are not open to under 16s.
