Sherburn and Villages

Interest Groups

Our groups are the heart and soul of Sherburn & Villages u3a.

Find out more - Group of the Month

The most important feature of almost all our Interest Groups is that they are volunteer-led and self-programming. No-one is paid to lead a group, and we always encourage group participation, discussion and decision making

Our groups are not classes, we don't teach, and there aren’t any exams or homework! Our groups simply provide a way in which people with a shared interest can get together, make new friends, have fun, and enjoy learning from one another.

Have a look below at what groups we offer and get in touch with the group leader to find out more! If you don't see what you are looking for, contact our Groups Co-Ordinator Josie Ford, to find out if there is anything in the pipeline. Got a passion you'd like to share? Why not start your own group?
