Let's build a roundhouse! Free courses for adults

'Let's build a roundhouse!' is a series of free courses made possible by a partnership with City College Peterborough and the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority.

Starting in August 2024 and ending in March 2025, we invite you to join our exciting project to build a new Bronze Age roundhouse and learn some valuable construction skills. The courses are open to adults aged 19 and above.
