Suffolk’s tranquillity lends itself to the pleasant process of learning new skills. There are many residential and non residential courses in Suffolk providing an opportunity to pick up a new interest or improve existing skills. Many courses take place in mills, historical farmhouses, old studios and famous buildings.

Combining a break with a course lasting a day, a weekend, or a week or even more is made easy by the generous accommodation options Suffolk provides. Tutors arrange for accommodation - some are even able to lodge their students under one roof in their rambling country abodes.
What can you learn? In a county with such deep artistic ties, there are many practicing artists who love welcoming newcomers and the initiated alike into their studios to learn the arts of stone sculpting, pottery, oil painting, watercolours, and other media. Some artistic courses are very specialist, for instance, if you are a player of a flute, bassoon, or clarinet, you can combine a break with the experience of playing within a quartet, guided by a music tutor.

Babies and toddlers can develop valuable skills by taking part in one of Music Bugs' interactive, 40-minute music courses whilst having a fun and relaxing time and making news friends. They offer free Taster Sessions, so go along and see how you can help your child to learn through the power of song!
Arts and Crafts are especially provided for – with the abundant craft skills of Suffolk you can learn just about any craft, and furniture restoration too.
