Classes and courses to keep your mind active, build new skills or simply make new friends.

At The Abbey Centre you'll find classes, courses and encouraging support to help keep your mind active and build new skills. We have held IT sessions for older people and regularly host lectures as well as exercise and dance classes. In addition to weekly sessions there are events, entertainment and one-off workshops too.

See current classes and clubs in our Activities Programme.

Classes

We offer a Spanish Class for Adults and a get-together for Spanish and Portuguese-speaking older people. Try Tai Chi or Shen Chi Do Martial Arts. A Moveable Feast offers workshops on health issues.

Clubs and lectures

The Abbey Lecture and Social Club is open to all and offers interesting topics and a chance to discuss them. People with disabilities can come along to the GLAD Social Club for social interaction and support, with information about training and campaigns that support people with disabilities.
