HEREFORDSHIRE Learning Champions will be holding free taster courses around the county throughout the summer.

The first two courses take place on May 25 and will focus on learning to draw and researching local history.

In June there will be a textiles course and the opportunity to trace your family history.

And on July 17, the attention will turn to healthy eating for families.

More courses are planned throughout the year including basic car maintenance, country crafts and junk jewellery.

The Learning Champions project promotes adult and community learning in Herefordshire's rural communities.
