Dundee Time and Place will evaluate, develop and deepen our knowledge of Dundee and her communities’ social, economic, cultural and political history from the early modern period through to the contemporary period.

This class has been extended to 1hr30mins for this session.

Our well subscribed Fitness Pilates class is held in Blackness Library on Tuesday evenings between 7pm and 8pm.

Fitness Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise that combines deep breathing with gentle stretching to boost strength, balance, and mobility. It is suitable for all levels, especially beginners. In this class we will gently work on our core strength, improving our posture and flexibility by doing a series of mat-based exercises.

This class is done in bare feet or socks.

Please bring water and a yoga mat with you.

All are welcome along to HERA’s free Christmas celebration event at The Vine, Magdalen Yard Road, Dundee on Friday 2nd December from 7-9pm.
