Take a City Lit course at The Conservatoire, Blackheath

Your author was at the launch of excellent adult education provider City Lit's new range of courses at The Conservatoire in Blackheath on Friday night, and was impressed with the new range of music, art, drama and culture courses being offered in these Grade II listed Victorian buildings which - we are told - is the oldest surviving purpose built multi-arts complex in London, whatever this means.


The Conservatoire and City Lit are offering more than 200 new classes, many of which begin over the next few weeks, and those who attended on Friday night were lucky enough to get to meet many of the interesting and insightful teachers who will be educating South East Londoners and all those who are willing to make the short hop to Blackheath Station, and hear about their work and what they taught. Potters, horticultural illustrators and musicians, artists and designers were all on hand to celebrate what has been and is to be a great cultural resource for the area.
