Member Groups > Stevenage U3A

The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a nationwide organisation comprised of over 1,000 local groups providing opportunities for those in their Third Age to come together and develop their interests. Third Age is the time after you’ve finished working or raising a family and have more time to pursue your interests at leisure and make the most of life.

U3A is not a university in the traditional sense, there are no entry requirements, set curriculum or examinations and no qualifications are awarded.It is an informal, co-operative organisation with the creed LEARN, LAUGH AND LIVE! at its heart. It’s all voluntary, members share their knowledge and experience with others in interest groups, running informal activity sessions covering a wide range of subjects and activities.

Stevenage U3A holds a weekly OPEN MEETING each Thursday afternoon from 2pm – 4pm during school terms at the Community Arts Centre, Roaring Meg, Stevenage. We offer a full and varied weekly programme, admission is just £2 including refreshments.

If you would like to find out more about Stevenage U3A and what it can offer please visit our website or come along any Thursday afternoon - you will be made most welcome!
