WELCOME TO WEST LEICESTERSHIRE u3a

We are a friendly organisation for people who are retired or semi-retired who come together to share interests, develop and learn new skills, whilst having fun and making new friends. West Leicestershire u3a was formed in 2014 and has members from across the area.

What We do

Monthly Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month and include a varied programme of speakers, entertainers and other activities with a chance to chat with other members and catch up on interest group activities and Local and national Events.

Membership Fees are £25 per year.

Why not come along as a Visitor to one of our meetings and find out more about West Leicestershire u3a. You would be very welcome. As a Visitor you are welcome to attend 3 main or group meetings before deciding whether u3a is right for you.

Interest Groups - u3a members also benefit from being able to join any of a growing number of Interest Groups which cover a wide variety of subjects. Groups are set up and run by members who have a particular interest, where knowledge and skills are shared and interests developed. Groups meet in a variety of venues across the area. Each group covers their own costs to cover room/court hire etc. If you are looking for an activity that isn't yet on the list, it only takes 2+ members with a similar interest to start a new group.

Trips & Visits - a number of outings are organised throughout the year. Recent outings have included garden visits, brewery tours, pie making and regular canal trips. Outings are open to all members.
