Dillington House has run adult education courses since 1950. With all that experience behind us, we know what interests people. We also know how to deliver knowledge in a way that is engaging, fun and accessible.

Our ever-changing adult education programme includes a vast array of practical and academic subjects. For most courses, there is no minimum entry requirement - all that's needed is an enthusiasm for the subject.

Some of our adult education courses take the form of weekend study breaks, others are held as intensive day courses, and some as more leisurely summer schools. You can participate in any of our courses on a residential or non-residential basis, with our fees being adjusted accordingly.

Our adult education course fees include tuition, refreshments, meals and - where applicable - entrances, transport and en-suite bed and breakfast accommodation.

"For such a peaceful place, with gracious buildings and landscape, Dillington is deceptive. You think you've come to a sleepy rural idyll, with gentle dim sheep grazing the neat lawns. But inside, it's all talk and ideas, enquiring minds and lively discussion.
History, art, literature, music - whatever quickens the spirit and sharpens the mind: right here in Somerset. "
