Huntingdon Area Lifelong Learners (HALL) was launched on the 30th September 2019. We are committed to the idea that learning should be affordable and for everyone whatever their age or educational background.
We normally meet in Huntingdon Library although do sometimes run courses online.
Whether online or in person most courses will have a short break for coffee and half term will coincide with Cambridgeshire schools.

and along the Eden Valley to Carlisle. (Warning: contains a sad dog story.) Fully illustrated
