The University of the Third Age, or U3A as it is commonly known, was based on an original idea from France and founded in this country in 1981 by Brian Groombridge.

The U3A consists of a group of men and women who are no longer in full time employment and meet together to study a wide range of subjects. We are all volunteers: no-one who works in our U3A in any capacity is paid.

We are not a university in the modern sense of a body which awards degrees, but in the original sense of a community of people engaged in learning – and learning from each other.

We offer no examinations, certificates or qualifications: we study for the pleasure of learning, and have some fun at the same time.

This calendar shows some of the events and groups our members can participate in. Please check on the group pages for the latest dates and times.
