Note, Many groups are currently (incorrectly) showing as full. I will be contacting group leaders in the next days to update to the correct status.
Interest groups are at the centre of U3A. Run by members, they provide a way of sharing interests, passing on knowledge and exploring new topics. All that is needed is enthusiasm, a desire to share and to learn. We hope you will find topics of interest in the groups below. If you have a subject that you would like to share with others then new groups are always welcome and help will be given if you want to set up a new group.
We have about 60 interest groups, keeping our members' physical and mental fitness in tip-top condition. And every one of these groups work on the same principle: run by the members, for the members. It's such a friendly and informal way of sharing interests, passing on knowledge and exploring new hobbies – it's no wonder, there are U3As set up all over the country!
If you wish to attend a group, the information and contact details can be found by pressing on the link within the individual group you are interested in, in the alphabetical list below.
For any general group enquiries please contact our Groups Coordinator
You must be a u3a member in order to take part in our interest group activities. This is essential to ensure that your participation in our activities is covered by the u3a’s insurance.
