What it’s like
An adults-only evening class centre in London running courses like beginners' creative writing, with concession fees for those who qualify.
This is a venue for grown-ups, not a family day out. It runs evening and daytime courses for adults, creative writing among them, with terms structured around the usual academic year rather than drop-in sessions.
Creative Writing for Beginners costs £250 at full fee, or £113 if you qualify for the concession rate. That's a decent gap between the two prices, so it's worth working out early which one applies to you before you commit to a term. Financial support beyond the concession fee is also available, according to the centre.
Term-time hours stretch out nicely if you work during the day: Tuesday to Thursday the building stays open until 9pm, and Monday, Friday and Saturday it runs 9am to 5pm. Out of term time the hours shrink to 10am to 5pm on weekdays. The centre closes over Christmas, on bank holidays, and on the Saturday before each one, so check where those fall against your course dates.
Disability access support is listed, which is worth knowing if that affects how you'd get into a class. There's wifi on site too, handy if you're the sort who wants to look up whatever the tutor just mentioned mid-session.
