We are delighted to be running another exciting year of FREE National Saturday Clubs at London Metropolitan University, starting in November 2021. Club members can choose from our Art&Design and Writing&Talking clubs and can spend Saturday mornings leaning about something they love whilst making new friends.
The Saturday Clubs at London Met offer 25 weeks of inspiring classes, introducing a range of different disciplines using our specialist facilities. Club members will be taught by leading industry specialists and London Met academics, as well as meeting student ambassadors from a variety of university courses.
Clubs include specialist masterclasses from industry professionals, in the past we have worked with the English National Opera, Adobe, The Tate and Shakespeare's Globe to name a few. Club members will also have the chance to exhibit their work at two national exhibitions.
