Groups

Take up a new interest!

With over 50 interest groups, there is something for everyone, but it is a flexible list and we welcome volunteers willing to lead new groups.

For more general information on all groups please contact our Groups' Co-ordinator or come along to an Open Meeting.

We are always keen to encourage the formation of new groups, so if you can’t see what you are looking for, perhaps want to start a new group, or you find that a group is full, contact the Groups` Coordinator.

Below is a list of our current groups, each with a brief note as to when they meet. For more information on any group just click on the group’s name.

Should you wish to join one of our many interest groups please contact the group leader first before joining. Members of any u3a are welcome to join any of our groups but if any group becomes full then Kenilworth u3a members will take precedence and any members of other u3as should consider Associate Membership to avoid losing a place in the group. For details see our Membership Page.
