Our Interest Groups
Redditch u3a continues to grow and expand. We have a number of successful interest groups, delivered by its members at various days/times during each month. An interest group can be just a few people sharing an interest around a dining room table, 20+ in a hired village hall or online via Zoom or Webex.
There are over 20 groups in our u3a ranging from art appreciation, computing and history, through languages, books, family history and philosophy, to listening to music, stitch and chat, moving to music and walking/rambling. Join as many as you like.
