Rossett Adult Learning returns to pre-pandemic levels with 160 courses
After 18 months of online classes and a reduced timetable, Rossett Adult Learning will return to pre-pandemic levels for next month's new autumn term.
The adult learning centre, which is a division of Harrogate's Rossett School, has been providing courses since the 1970s.
It has operated online with just 70 classes during the pandemic but it today announced it will be back up to 160 courses next month.
About 75% of courses will now be held in-person at the school and some 25% will remain online.
Courses include art, music, exercise, history and languages and cover a diverse offering, including ukulele for beginners, tai chi, furniture restoration and French culture.
The centre welcomed 4,500 to 5,000 students a year pre-covid.
Melissa Horberry. manager of Rossett Adult Learning, said:
Class sizes can vary from 15 for arts and craft courses to up to 25 for the evening pilates classes.
The centre also offers 56 language classes offering eight languages at all levels, beginners to intermediate.
