  • Recreational, cultural and creative interest Groups, from Art to Wool & Waffle... and practically every other letter in between!
  • Outings to shows, exhibitions, gardens and sites of cultural, scientific or historical interest all over London and the South East
  • Monthly Meetings with guest speakers ranging from ‘King Henry VIII’ to a genealogist from BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are?, and topics from Gamekeeping to Giggly Pigs
  • Local events including quizzes, seasonal celebrations, concerts, wine tastings and more.

If you would like to get involved, the only qualification you’ll need to join our inclusive organization is to be a “Third Ager” i.e. no longer be in full time employment! Please have a browse around our web site, or go straight to “How to Join” below.

Dunmow u3a is a mutual-aid organisation that is run by and for its members. It is part of an exciting world-wide movement which provides opportunities for life-long learning at a minimal cost. Nationally there are more than 1,000 u3as, with around half a million members; in Dunmow we have around 550 members belonging to some 35 interest Groups. Each is led by members themselves, who may be sharing an interest in which they have expertise, or simply organising a group who wish to learn together.
