Welcome to the Website of Burton Joyce and District u3a

The u3a is a friendly network of over 1,000 groups across the UK, created for people who are no longer working full-time to meet up, socialize, and learn just for the fun of it. It’s all run by volunteers, and we can only offer as much as our members are willing to get involved – but you might be surprised by just how much that is!

Why not pop by one of our monthly speaker meetings? We meet at Burton Joyce Village Hall on the second Tuesday of each month. There’s no charge, and you’re welcome to come along for two visits without any obligation. You’ll find details of upcoming meetings here: :-  Meetings, Outings, Social Events

You can be as involved as you like – as little or as much as suits you. That said, the more you join in, the more you’ll get out of it! We’ve got over 60 interest groups, from Aerobics to Wine Tasting, so there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. And if you’ve got an idea for something new, it’s easy to start your own group too.

Finding your way around the site:

  • If you’re on a computer, use the headers at the top of the page.
  • On a tablet or phone, tap the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner.

Still have questions? Don’t hesitate to get in touch by phone or email – we’re happy to help. Our phone number is 0300 102 1383 (calls are usually free to this number), or you can email the Chairman, Michael Dobbs, at chair1@bju3a.co.uk

Feel free to join one of our monthly meetings or contact a Group Coordinator if there’s a particular group you’re curious about. You can also enjoy a couple of taster sessions without any obligation to join.
