SUMMARY:Come\, See\, Be Inspired:  Experience Classics at Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Classics – the study of ancient Greece and Rome\, of Latin and Greek\, and of the tremendously rich ‘afterlife’ of the ancient world in Western History and Culture – is for everyone! We want to share our enthusiasm in a new initiative addressed to teachers and pupils in Key Stages 3–5: come visit us at Cambridge and experience both Cambridge and Classics hands-on!

The places for each date are strictly limited\, so please be in touch early.
