What is the U3A ?

U3A is a UK-wide movement of retired and semi-retired people who come together to continue their educational, social and creative interests in a friendly and informal environment.

It's all voluntary; a typical U3A will be home to many activity groups covering hundreds of different subjects - from art to zoology and everything in between.
