The Guildford Institute has launched its autumn brochure with nearly 90 activities to choose from, ranging from courses and talks to visits and events.

To coincide with the 70th anniversary of the publication of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novel Casino Royale, there will be a variety of exciting events inspired by the focus of Whispers, Secrets and Lies.

Put pen to paper and learn how to write your own spy story with A Licence to Create; go to an afternoon talk on the legendary fictional character, Sweeney Todd; and discover what it was like to be a secret agent during the Second World War with a course on Spy Training.

In the lead-up to Christmas, there will be a wide range of seasonal events with even more on offer this year.

Create beautiful homemade gifts and decorations at one of its Christmas Craft workshops; learn how to make a stunning wreath with florist Michelle Rust; enjoy a wine-tasting workshop on Celebration Wines; and experience the magnificent illumination trail at Kew Gardens.

Don’t miss out on an evening of entertainment with musician Dean Dyson (often seen busking in Guildford High Street), as he performs his own popular songs and a selection of covers.
