Your local u3a
Finished with the 9–5 or family commitments? Now it’s your time to explore, enjoy and connect.
At our u3a, you can discover new interests, rediscover old passions, and—most importantly—have fun while meeting friendly, like‑minded people. Whether you love learning something new, sharing skills, or simply enjoying good company, there’s something here for everyone.
We’re a welcoming community run by members, for members. Everyone is encouraged to join in—whether that’s helping to organise activities, leading a group, or simply sharing ideas. It’s all about learning together, laughing together, and making the most of every day.
In this short film, we explain the benefits of becoming a member of the Basingstoke - Old Basing u3a
Benefits of Membership
Groups
Once you have joined our u3a, you can join as many of our 90+ groups as you like (there is a modest additional charge for a small number of our groups) and take the opportunity to develop your interests, make new friends and enjoy yourself. We offer recreational and social activities plus a wide range of educational study groups, with a very friendly and informal atmosphere.
The groups meet in a number of venues around Basingstoke and Old Basing. For more details, and to find a group that interests you, see more about Our Groups.
A printable summary of the groups we run can be found here.
New groups
We are always looking to provide our members with more variety or to start a second group when a group is full. The committee member who is responsible for Group Development can be contacted via this contact form.
If your particular interest is not covered, why not investigate the possibility of starting your own group? There is every chance that other members may be looking for a new challenge and keen to join a new activity. It is certainly not always necessary to be able to "teach"; you and your group can explore and develop your subject together.
