Note that you need to be a member of the u3a in order to join any of these study and interest groups.
However we offer a free taster on a ‘try before you buy!’ basis for potential new members. It’s a great opportunity to join in the activities of these groups, so come along and try us out, it’s lots of fun! Please contact the Group Leader before attending a group.
What groups are available?
Eastleigh District u3a has more than 30 groups available covering a range of activities. The list is below, alphabetically, by category, by day, or by venue. You can see some of our groups in the photos on the right.
How do I join a group?
The fastest and easiest way is to visit that group's web page (below) and send a message to the Group Leader via the group email address. You may join as many groups as you have time for!
How much does it cost?
Your annual u3a subscription gives you access to all groups. Each group is different. Some activities are free, some share costs such as room hire or refreshments, and some activities such as a visit to a local museum or a coach outing are at cost.
Would you like to start a group for your favourite activity or hobby?
If your favourite is not covered in the list below, why not find out if there are other members who share your interest and would like to get together to take it further? Please click the button on the right for more information on how to do this.
