Summer Programme of Courses & Activities...
Canterbury u3a is a part of the UK-wide network of more than a thousand local groups. The mission of u3a is to bring members together in the spirit of ‘learning for fun’.
Canterbury u3a now has 1,200 members, participating in a wide range of activities including -
Courses in languages, history, literature, science, music, art, philosophy, social science and more.
Formal and informal groups, sharing a common interest such as gardening, bridge and cinema, to name just a few.
Our monthly meeting held on the second Wednesday of every month is your opportunity to catch up with u3a news, to hear from a special guest speaker and, of course, to meet fellow members.
Other activities include tours and visits to places of interest.
Join us. Membership of our u3a is open to all who consider themselves in their third age, that is defined not by a particular age but by a period in life in which full time employment has ceased. The majority of our u3a activities take place between 10.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday.
Join us to learn; for fun; and make new friends - and if you have expertise or experiences to share with fellow members, we would also love to hear from you, as we are always interested in turning fresh ideas into new courses.
Annual membership is currently £20 per member. There is a small fee for our courses which are offered for pleasure with no exams or tests, but we also have other u3a activities that are free to attend. Face to face classes are held in public venues or in leaders’ homes, and some are online via Zoom. For more information, please visit the join us page on the website.
