Τhere are still a few places left at the Summer Schools in beginners’/post-beginners’ New Τestament Greek (beginning 18 July) and Latin (beginning 1 August) at St Albans Cathedral. 

These summer schools are suitable for all, but may be particularly relevant to sixth formers exploring university options of Classics, Theology or Medieval Studies, undergraduates or postgraduates taking related courses, and any other interested adults who want something unusual to do with their summer!
