Our Interest groups are at the heart of Pershore and District u3a. We have over 90 groups - something for everyone! The groups are led by the members for the members on a voluntary basis; using our experience to teach and learn from one another.

We have many groups with spaces: the list below will tell you if the group is full or not. New groups are starting up all the time following members' interests: often groups split into two so that more spaces become available. In the first instant click on the link on the group's individual page to contact the group leader if you are interested in joining.

On contacting the group leader you may find the group is full or sometimes you may not receive a reply. In that case contact John our Groups Co-ordinator and let him know.

New groups recently started include Aviation, Sunday Lunch Club and Theatre Group, all from suggestions from members. 

If you don't find a group you'd like to join, how about some of our newer ones that are in development ? We have a Groups Wishlist, so have look there to see what might be available. 

Perhaps you'd like to become a group leader yourself? You don't have to be an expert! If there are others who want to learn about the same subject area you can learn together. A group can be led by more than one person as a joint collaboration. Here is some information from our Groups Coordinator - Why not become a Group Leader?

We also have a dedicated page for Group Leaders for further support and information.

Some of our interest groups are free, once you have paid your annual membership Fee Structure

Some may have a small charge paid weekly, monthly or quarterly to cover room hire costs or to purchase items used by the group, usually detailed on that group's page.

If you are thinking of joining our u3a but would like to try a group before you join, please get in touch with our Groups Co-ordinator who can arrange for you to go along to one session before you become a full Pershore and District u3a member.
