The u3a is open to all people in the 'third age'. It is not a particular age but rather the period in your life when you are no longer in full-time employment and have time to pursue interests for their own sake. Enjoyment is the prime motive. No qualifications are needed or sought.

We have over 500 members and more than 40 groups covering a wide range of interests and activities. Take a look at our Groups page.
