Connecting you with others through the things you love

About our Interest Groups

  • 25+ interest groups, (see list below), are one of the Key drivers of our u3a.
  • They operate and thrive by self-help, shared learning, participation and cooperation of members.
  • You can start a new group, if we don't have the group that you are interested in.
  • Some of our groups are full and others have places available. Always check with Interest Groups Coordinator or the relevant Group Leaders of the groups you want to join. 
  • Some groups may involve a small running/participation cost e.g. venue hire. Always check with the relevant Group Leader.

Joining our Interest Groups

  • You must be a member of Wilmslow u3a before joining a Group.
