Ashtead u3a – a message from our Chairman.

Ashtead u3a offers a wide range of creative, learning, physical and leisure activities, all organised and run by members, who have between them a wide range of experience and expertise. Have you always wanted to explore London or see how artistic you can be? We have Groups for that and so much more! With nearly 70 groups to choose from, you are bound to find something to suit your interests. If you are keen to pursue a subject/activity we don't already have a group for, just mention it to our Groups Co-ordinator and we’ll put the idea to our members – many current groups began that way.

Apart from exploring topics of interest learning or gaining new skills, a huge benefit of u3a is meeting new people and making friends. We hold a sociable monthly meeting in the Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall, usually on the first Thursday of the month. There is always an outside speaker on sometimes surprising topics, the chance to buy tickets for outings/events and of course time for a cup of tea and a chat. u3a Membership also gives you the opportunity to attend Study Days run by the Surrey u3a Network eight times a year. They cover a variety of subjects, lead by experts in the field, and are held locally in the Menuhin Hall, Stoke d’Abernon.

A browse through the following pages of this website will show you what we have to offer. If you would like to find out more, our Membership Secretary will be pleased to help you. She can be contacted by email on Membership.
