Other classes for adults

There are an enormous number of classes and sports available to adults in Leiden, but to detail them all is beyond the scope of this website.

There are several great courses coming up at the Vrouw in Haar Kracht Centrum (VKC) , 57 Langegracht, including an all-ages knitting class given by Marja van Halteren (check out her website on www.nordicwool.nl . These classes and groups are amazing as they are either free or only cost-covering, and free childcare is provided! Look at www.vkcdespiegeling.nl : most activities will also be on What's On This Week.

For other courses , a huge range of art, dance, languages, computer skills etc are organized by BplusC, so a best first stop is www.BplusC.nl . If you are looking for a gym , for women I would particularly recommend Vrouwfit on the Herengracht and Vijfmeilaan ( www.vrouwfit.nl ), which is a women-only gym that specializes particularly in lots of yoga, pilates, body balance etc, although they do plenty of body-pump etc classes as well. Membership is €30 a month, which is considerably cheaper than other ones, although they do not have a crèche. There will also be various classes in a buurthuis near you - to find out what's on at your nearest buurthuis go to www.libertasleiden.nl , click on 'informatie', click on 'buurtcentra' (in red), then click on the one nearest you, and then click 'activiteitenrooster' for a roster of all activities.
