Blandford & District

Welcome

Welcome to the Blandford & District u3a. Although based in Blandford, our membership is drawn from villages and communities in and around the beautiful North Dorset area (and beyond in a few cases).

Blandford u3a is one of over 1000 u3as in the UK, which gives members the opportunity to share many educational, creative and leisure activities. In total, there are over 450,000 members nationwide (correct as at January 2022) and the movement is expanding every year. For more information, click the link on the Right Hand Side (or, if you prefer, the u3a logo at the top).

Blandford and District u3a was established in 2002 and there are currently about 300 members and over 35 interest groups. We are a lively and friendly group of people with a wide variety of skills and life experiences who are happy to share our knowledge, learn from each other and develop new interests.

Membership is open to those no longer in (and not seeking) full time employment or those in part time employment. Take a few minutes to learn more about us - explore the tabs above or email us for further information.
