About Mansfield and District U3A
Mansfield and District U3A was formed in 1999 and now has 275 members who enjoy active retirement, making new friends and learning new skills in their Third Age.
See more >>> | | Welcome to Mansfield and District University of the Third Age – where seniors enjoy active retirement by learning together. We offer Nottinghamshire over-50s something to look forward to in retirement and a friendly way to enjoy it.  Members are part of an international organisation providing educational, cultural and social opportunities for over-50s. So if you enjoy making new friends, the stimulation of learning new things and passing your knowledge on to others you'll be very welcome. We can open the way for you to join in with continued learning in academic subjects at national summer schools and participate in our interest groups where we co-operate for activities and hobbies. Click on our latest newsletter to see what members have been doing recently and what's planned. You'll see how members share interests in art appreciation, bridge, card games, crafts, singing, needlework, music, history, literature, wine tasting and scrabble. How we keep learning about drawing, photography, technology, writing for pleasure and genealogy. How we keep fit joining-in with physical activities like walking, bowls, Yoga and Tai Chi. How we socialise on theatre, concert and garden visits, caravanning, lunches and group holidays.
(Interest groups are only open to U3A members so please contact the membership secretary if you need to enquire about vacancies.) Download our free toolbar for quick access to all the main pages and sign-up in the box to the left to get updates by email.
