Covid19 Update:
We are working hard to amend our provision to meet the required guidelines set by the Government. If you are currently enrolled onto a Leisure Learning course you will be contacted by a member of the team to advise whether your course can be delivered remotely or will need to be temporarily paused. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at business@suffolk.ac.uk and one of our team members will be happy to assist.

Welcome to our exciting Leisure Learning programme!
We advise that you sign up using the links below early to secure a place on your chosen Learning for Fun course at our Ipswich campus.
If there are very low enrolments one week prior to the start date of the course we will review whether the course is closed, and if possible offer you an alternative.
Age Restriction: Please note our Leisure Learning courses are for people aged 19 and over (as of August 2020).
