Is there anywhere else in the world — besides City Lit — where you can take a course in gua sha facial massage AND another in science fiction writing? Probably not (though you might find an answer if you enrol in 'Becoming Confident on ChatGPT'). One thing is for certain: City Lit's courses are not only a great way to learn new skills and knowledge, but also incredibly good FUN.
Most of us last experienced classroom learning at school or university. You'll likely find a very different environment at City Lit. It's spearheading a change in adult education, making learning more rewarding and enjoyable. Courses are designed to scratch that learning itch, with hands-on exercises and approaches that spark creativity. OUT goes learning everything from a blackboard; IN comes engaging, energising and fulfilling lessons. You'll remember more, get a boost in confidence and might even make new friends.
City Lit has the biggest choice of adult courses in London, and 2026 brings more options than ever. To mention just a few, you might choose to study ukulele, garden design, screen printing, podcasting or web design. Learn how to start writing that novel you've always dreamed of, and then how to get it published. You can even take a course in the physics of black holes.
City Lit's offering is designed to fit around busy lives, with short accessible courses for all adult ages. No previous experience in the chosen subject is usually required. Most courses are taught at the City Lit Campus in Covent Garden, but many are available online in case you can't make it in.
And if you find you've had so much fun that you want to tell the world about it... well, there are courses in autobiography and memoir writing, too!
