Out-and-about or Dillington based, create a learning holiday with a difference on one of our week long Summer Schools and learn with like-minded people whilst having fun, relaxing and rejuvenating. There are three weeks to choose from.

On offer during this week is a mixture of full day out-and-about courses and a full day art course, as well as some half day courses, all of which run from Monday to Friday.

Residents select a full day course or alternatively a morning and afternoon course, from the list below, and attend accordingly for the whole week.

Residents arrive for tea on Sunday and depart after breakfast on Saturday.
Each evening residents come together for dinner and, if your energy and sense of adventure allows, some entertainment – learned or otherwise.

Non Residents select either a full day course, one half day course or one morning and one afternoon course and attend accordingly for the whole week.

Non Residents – arrive for coffee and depart after tea each day.

Non Residents may book dinner in advance for any of the evenings (subject to availability) and stay on for the evening entertainment.
