General Information

We have over 20 interest groups, each organised by a group coordinator .A programme is usually set up with mutual agreement between the coordinator and all members. The ethos of the U3A is to share learning so please come and share your skills and experiences with other like minded people. If you are interested, please contact the coordinator by clicking on the email link of the appropriate page.

The venue for meeting is adapted to the need of the group. Hiring a venue incurs costs and therefore each member is expected to contribute to this, usually between £1.50 and £2.00.

Find out more by attending a coffee morning – held on the first Wednesday of the month from 10.15am in the Maltings, Wirksworth.

Anyone interested in the below groups click on that group and then the coordinator's name to send them an email.
