Washington Village

Winter, Washington Village

Washington Village u3a (WVu3a) is a lively and friendly organisation for anyone who has finished working full-time. We have around 300 members and new members are always welcome.

We meet monthly in the Function Room at The Stella in Washington (see our Events page for specific details). In addition we have over 30 different special interest groups to keep you active physically, mentally and socially (see our Groups page for more information).

Our u3a is a great way to meet new people, take up new hobbies and enjoy having fun. Our aim is to offer a wide range of learning, creative and leisure groups for people who want to enjoy life and make new friends. All our activities are run by our members, for our members, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Our ethos is that we are all volunteers and we all have something to offer, so come and join WVu3a as a volunteer, to help out, share your knowledge and skills or even join our Committee.

For initial queries please contact our Business Secretary or choose a specific committee role from our Get in Touch page
