St Neots Learning Group ("SNLG")

The St. Neots Learning Group developed from the WEA branch founded in the 1930s and which carried on until 2019 without any interruption. For many years the group met in schools in the town but about 18 years ago decided to change venue and experiment with having an afternoon rather than an evening class. We knew that having a daytime course would exclude most working people and we were surprised that numbers increased until classes cane to a halt with the start of the Pandemic in 2020. Our venue, Pilgrim Hall, is part of St Neots United Reformed Church and is in Moores Walk, a pedestrian access just off the High Street. The church is just past Argos. There is paid parking in the Tebbutts Road car park where the minimum charge of £1.60 allows parking for 2 hours. The car park is a two minute walk from the hall, which is served by stairs and a lift.

Courses of 9 or 10 weeks include a half term break.
