Discover Your New Passion - Or Reignite An Old One - At City Lit's Open Days

This is a sponsored article on behalf of City Lit.

Do you ever feel like your true calling is out there, but you're yet to find it? You want something to inspire you, but don't know where to look? Then get yourself to one of City Lit's open days.

A taster course or workshop is just the thing to spark a life-changing passion — or reignite an old one. And boy, are there a lot of options with City Lit. From ballet to basketry, animation to wine tasting, there are plenty of courses — no matter how niche — to tempt you.

Maybe an acting class is for you?

Perhaps you're looking to take a step out into the great unknown and really have no idea where to start. Then book yourself a ticket to one of City Lit's curious courses. You'll have no idea what you've signed up for until the moment you arrive, when the course topic is revealed. Think of it as fate finding you, if you like.

On top of all the workshops and quizzes taking place, there are plenty of free talks, pop-up shops, exhibitions and more to catch your fancy. And at the Friday night session, there's a selection of music and stand-up comics performing, so even if you don't discover your new passion, a good time is still guaranteed.

There's more to fall in love with than just a new skill or career. Just ask Lucy and Dave Wilson. "Lots of people probably join the day of taster courses and workshops, and come away with a few ideas, maybe a new skill or two. For us, we came away with a whole new and wonderful life."

"It's a classic boy meets girl love story. We were two young people who arrived ready to learn a few new camera tricks on a cold winter morning. We got chatting during the class and agreed to meet up for a drink the following week. As with all good love stories there were sparks which very soon burst into a whirlwind romance."

"We married in March at the Mayfair Library and headed off on our honeymoon to Paris. But we also had a little souvenir in tow. Just before our wedding we found out that we were having a baby and I am very pleased to say that Gene Gabriel Wilson was born in mid-November and is doing wonderfully well. We have rather taken to the idea of marking our anniversary each year by trying out a new hobby."

Obviously City Lit can't guarantee falling in love and starting a dream family just from attending their events, but you never know...

Lucy puts it best herself: "We are firm believers in trying new things — you never know what might happen."

City Lit's open days take place on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 April 2018. Book your tickets here.
