Glossop Guild for enquiring minds
Glossop Lion 1847
Overview
The Glossop Guild was formed in 2009 to promote liberal education in and around the town.
Glossop is a former mill town at the northern end of the Peak District National Park in the United Kingdom. The Guild is a non-profit organisation which endeavours to promote a wide range of courses, all of which we provide for the interests and enlightenment of participants. The Guild aims to select tutors on the basis of their ability to present lively and challenging courses, as well as for their expertise and experience. Members and participants are encouraged to contribute their own views and engage in informative discussion. All courses are open to both members and non-members.
Autumn Programme 2025 - NOW taking bookings
After another successful Spring term of courses arranged by Maggie Mooney we welcome a new course organiser to our team, Helen Bulmer. Helen has been busy arranging an equally interesting and stimulating series of courses for the Autumn term. The film day this term will be the masterpiece "Dr Strangelove" a satirical black comedy directed by Stanley Kubrick. We welcome two new tutors this term, Bill Mitchinson who will tell us a revelatory story of the British Expeditionary Force during the first world war and Oliver Missia who will introduce us to the importance of Vanilla. Once again we are offering both a venue based programme in Glossop for those who wish to attend in person and a Zoom based programme for people who prefer to attend in the comfort of their own homes.
As a small non profit organisation Glossop Guild are exempt from registration with the ICO for data protection act purposes. Nevertheless any personal details you give us directly, or via our course booking process, will only be used for Glossop Guild purposes, and maintained in accord with General Data Protection regulation principles.
