Welcome to u3a
No longer in full-time work or busy raising a family?
Now is the time to make the most of life ...
Time to explore new ideas, new skills and interests.
Time to make new friends and enjoy ourselves ...
u3a is a unique self-help membership organisation providing opportunities to continue to 'learn, laugh and live' through meeting with others who are at a similar time of life and sharing activities and interests together. There is no lower (or upper) age limit to membership.
All our Activity/Interest Groups are led or coordinated by fellow u3a members.
Members, with spare time on their hands, share their skills and knowledge gained from life and/or work experiences in small activity or interest groups. Gathering together and learning for pleasure in a friendly environment can be fun and helps members to keep mentally and physically active whilst enjoying new companionships.

Bridgnorth Town
An historic medieval market town with an area population of 12,500 lying in the south of the County of Shropshire.
Before canals and railways, Bridgnorth was one of the busiest inland ports in Europe bringing navigable trade up and down the River Severn and well into middle England! Nowadays the River Severn is less polluted, and is a quiet haven for walkers, anglers and wildlife.
Bridgnorth nestles comfortably into the Severn Valley and is uniquely divided into High Town (with great views down!) and Low Town (with great views up!). Low Town is connected to High Town by the original roadway known as The Cartway, seven ancient Donkey Steps and a Cliff Railway which is the steepest inland funicular in Britain. Bridgnorth is linked to Kidderminster by the award winning Severn Valley Steam Railway.
Surrounding towns are:
Shrewsbury (County Town) 21 miles north west; Telford 12 miles north; Wolverhampton 14 miles north east;
Birmingham 27 miles east; Kidderminster 14 miles south; Ludlow 19 miles south west
