We have already mentioned U3A in our previous blog named ‘Games and Activities around Huntingdon’ and whilst we didn’t want to repeat ourselves, we felt we must mention them again as the service they provide to the community is nothing short of wonderful and it matches today’s theme beautifully. We won’t bore you with repetition of details, but here is a link to our previous blog and a link to U3A’s website where further information can be found about the brilliant opportunities they have on offer – https://www.u3a.org.uk/
This lovely spot in St Neots is a unique blend of a café and gallery that offers art classes to the public. It describes itself as an ethically responsible place that fosters connection, creativity, and imagination. The name was designed to describe itself, the soul touches on what it means to be wonderfully human, while the art touches on the innate creativity that all humans have, bring them together and you have Art and Soul… a place to drink coffee and create art. The owners here believe that coffee is one of life’s perks, so their coffee is from local Cambridgeshire coffee roasters Hot Numbers. There’s a lot on offer at this brilliant spot, the café boasts a very inclusive menu that can be found here, and can even be a space for private hire. The reason Art and Soul has made our list of adult learning classes is down to the number of different workshops on offer for various areas of arts and crafts, further information about the workshops on offer can be found here.
