Current Events

Come and join us on Tuesday mornings for English conversation practice, where a whole range of different topics will be discussed. We split into small groups and chat informally about various subjects.

The Coffee Hour is a great opportunity to meet other members, our volunteers and group leaders.  There is a children's play area and refreshments will be served. We look forward to welcoming you.

Most people think of a nun's life as being one of quiet contemplation and withdrawal from the world. Gemma Simmonds, whose cousin was a founder member of the Rolling Stones, was an unlikely candidate for such a life.

Expert tour guides will be taking NVS members on a walking tour of Cambridge on selected dates. The walks will be on Tuesdays after the talk ends and last around an hour. Members will be told which dates and where to meet in the newsletter and our Facebook page.

This group is for adults only. Please bring your favourite sketchbook, or just pencil and paper, and join the Art for All Levels group. Some materials will be available, and there will always be something interesting to draw or paint. Enjoy shared company and ideas.

"Film Point" is a group designed for film enthusiasts who share a deep love for the world of cinema. The group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings. Following the screening, members will have the unique opportunity to engage in thoughtful and reflective conversations.

Whether you are experienced in crochet, a long-time knitter, or trying it out for the first time, join our group on Thursdays from 10:00-12:00. Everyone is welcome, crochet or knitting is not essential. Most materials will be provided. 

There is a strong, compelling association between life purpose and wellbeing. Clarity of purpose leads to improvements in confidence, relationships, and physical health. Life purpose reflects your uniqueness - and helps you focus on what matters to you most.

Only a short train ride away is the historic city of Peterborough.  Our volunteer Andrea has a great day planned for you.  Including  a visit to Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery which currently has a special exhibition of Bronze age objects from ‘Pompeii of the Fens’.

Join one of our volunteers as they host you for Afternoon Tea at their home. Experience this very British ritual with other NVS members ​and get to know our volunteers.
