Groups are run by U3A members, who usually ask for a small contribution towards refreshments and running expenses.
Group leaders can be contacted via our contact page
Costs vary from nil or a nominal charge for refreshments to £2+ per session to cover hire of room / hall / expenses etc, where relevant.
ENGLISH HERITAGE: Free group visits are available to English Heritage sites if you book via the English Heritage website and provide your learning objectives. You would not qualify for expert-led visits.
