Unfortunately, nearly all U3A activities and meetings are suspended, in accordance with national U3A policy, because of Covid-19. However, please do use this website to find out more information and to join us.

Bude and District U3A is a part of the national U3A organisation – a unique self-help learning movement for people no longer in full time employment. We offer an opportunity for people to pursue shared interests in many subjects within a sociable environment. It aims to encourage ‘third agers’ to engage in educational, creative and leisure activities at minimal cost by making use of the skills and knowledge of its members.

Please note that, due to Covid-19, our public gatherings are on-hold. What fallows is what we do in ‘normal’ times….

We hold 10 OPEN MONTHLY MEETINGS a year with a Speaker.  They are held at 2.30pm at the Parkhouse Centre, Bude on the 3rd Thursday of every month except October (our Annual General Meeting) and December (our Christmas Festivity).  These are free and include refreshments.  For information about our programme of speakers please go to the WHAT’S ON page of this website or look at our folder in Bude Library.

We also hold informal coffee mornings at The Weir Cafe on the 1st Friday of each month 10:30 to 12:30, and at the Brendon Arms on the 3rd Wednesday of each month 10:30 to 12 noon.

Visitors are welcome to come along to any of these meetings to learn more about what we do and to decide whether they would like to join us.
