About Adult Learning

Starting in Autumn 2022, we look forward to welcoming you to our talks in a brand new hybrid format! Attendees can join most of our talks live either in person or online via Zoom Webinar, and recordings will be available to those who cannot attend on the night. This means that our live audience, wherever they are joining us from, can join in with questions and discussion with our speakers.

The Cathedral’s rich heritage of learning inspires the work which goes on here today.

We are pleased to be able to offer a rich programme of adult learning events designed to explored faith, history and culture from many angles. Each term we offer a variety of talks, study days, courses and reading groups in a welcoming and stimulating learning environment. 

To receive monthly updates about our Adult Learning programme and find out about our upcoming events, please join our mailing list by emailing [email protected]  

What people say about our Adult Learning programme:

I have enjoyed a variety of stimulating, enjoyable experiences - from discussing books to taking courses, and from participating in music events to learning about an array of subjects presented by well-educated, engaging speakers

Clergy and Reader Training Grants 

We are very pleased to be able to offer clergy and Readers in the diocese of St Albans complimentary access to our Adult Learning courses, talks, study days, and reading groups. To sign up for one of our events, please email [email protected]  

Local partners

We are fortunate that the local area is steeped in learning, and are pleased to be able to work in partnership with a few local groups, such as the Friends of St Albans Cathedral and St Albans Architectural and Archaeological Society, who also run a programme of events. 

Where to find our events

Our in-person events take place in the Library, Alban Room or Offa Room in the Chapter House, or in the Nave or Lady Chapel in the Cathedral. Entry for all events is through the Welcome Centre. You can find a map to these locations here:
