THREE Herefordshire venues are offering short courses in British Sign Language.

The accredited £15 courses last four or five weeks, focusing on simple, everyday language use.

They will take place at the Bromyard Centre and the Ryefield Centre, Ross-on-Wye during May and June.

A five-week course also takes place at Deaf Direct, Broad Street, Hereford.
