The Worcester u3a group sessions will be commencing again from September 2021 onwards; however, some groups will be starting later in 2021 or even at start of 2022 due to the continuing uncertainty caused by the Pandemic. The latest date schedules for the groups meetings can be downloaded from the 'Groups Programme 2021-22' link on the RHS of this page.
Groups will be able to use 'virtual' sessions as well as, or in place of, some face-to-face meetings this year. The groups programme will eventually indicate the groups utilising Zoom but members will need to confirm with the Group Leader when those virtual meetings take place.
Group List
New groups starting since 2020 include 'History's People', 'French for Beginners', 'Researching our History', 'Walks - 10miles+' and returning this year is 'Mindfulness and Meditation'.
The only way to enrol for a group is by contacting the group leader in advance.
Clicking on a group's name in the table below will take you to their web page. Clicking on the Group Leader's name in their web page will enable you to send a message. Some leaders lead more than one group so please make sure you include the group's name in your message. Groups are alphabetical but go left right left right etc.
Groups will be shaded with a dark grey background when full. Even if a group is full, you can ask the leader to add you to their waiting list.
If you would like to start a new group please contact the Groups Coordinator
Please scroll to the bottom of the page to see an overview of our groups by day.
