Life lessons for karate kids and silver surfers in Cork

With everything from karate for kids to computers for the silver surfer, this year’s Cork Lifelong Learning Festival is fun, fascinating and — best of all — free.

Fancy a gentle introduction to pilates? No problem. Yogaworx in the East Village in Douglas is offering that, while the digitally challenged can brush up their skills at Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa on Tramore Rd.

Those who feel like singing can join a rehearsal and performance by Voices of Cork, the community-based choir, at St Patrick’s National School on Gardiner’s Hill.
