Weekend courses at Madingley Hall

Our popular programme of weekend courses runs all year round and features more than 150 courses on subjects ranging from Ancient Greek to genetics, taught by leading Cambridge experts.

Madingley Hall and gardens

Madingley Hall is a 16th-century country house, set in seven acres of landscaped gardens. It is just four miles from the centre of Cambridge, and only 60 minutes from London.

Weekend courses are open to all, and no background knowledge is required in most cases. You will be taught in small, informal groups by academics who are expert not only in their subjects but also in teaching students of all ages and experience.

As a weekend student, you will enjoy award-winning cuisine in our elegant Dining Hall and first-rate facilities in an atmospheric and inspiring setting. You can choose to stay at the Hall for the duration of your course, or attend as a non-resident.
